I heard this a while ago from my parents.Its pretty serious and I've been on the look out ever since.Thanks for the heads up.

I don't believe in either one. It's all a hoax!

Wanna know why?
The message claims that CNN has entitled the viruses as the worst... yet they have nothing on CNN.com. The same goes with Microsoft

Take a look and read this website: www.hoax-slayer.com
They state that the Invitation, AKA: Olympic Torch, virus and the Bin-Laden virus are older viruses that someone decided to warn people about them again.
The believe that the site states that the Olympic Torch virus was a "Virtual Card for You" released in 2000* and that the Bin-Laden virus was indeed a virus with a threat of catching but wasn't so dangerous that it would bring a computer to it's death like it was claimed too.



The Bin-Laden virus made an appearance starting in 2004.

* This information was found on "McAfee"




If thats true, then She probably just caught the old Bin-Laden virus. Like I quoted before it doesn't do as much damage as it's claimed to do, so there isn't as much to worry about... but it's still a virus and should be removed ASAP.

Best of luck to you and your friend.

Wow. Thank you SO much for the warning. It's really helpful

At least its not the fricken trojan virus! That thing just hacked my computer today and not once but 20 times!!! and my Spyware Debug system won't delete it cause it says I have not yest "paid" for the debug system so Im stuck hoping that cleaning out my folders helped it.....Dumb pop-ups!!! >>;;

What is the difference between a trojan and a virus, may I ask?

McAfee on my computer picked up a "trojan" the other day after a giant pop up came up whilst I was on someone's myspace. It said it couldn't quartantine, scan or delete the file because it was 'in use' or 'read-only'. Anyway, my dad disconnected the internet and then he deleted all of my temporary internet files and did a big scan on the computer and it hasn't found anything since.

yeah. thst must suck having a virus, crashing a computer is even worse! you cant even use it unti it gets fixed!

If you did happen to recieve the old Bin Laden virus email, could you delete the email? Or would do just as much good as opening it?

Tell me about it... when I got that trojan, I was supposed to bidding on a CD on eBay for a friend. It was in the last five minutes and.. I lost it.

hi

Thanks for the worning! I'll be looking out for that!
