    3 times in the last 2 days I have gotten a virus warning telling me that this website is infected with a virus that came from "uzitalk.com".

    I should have taken a screen shot and posted it, but I didn't. I just closed the page and came back several hours later. If I get it again, I will do so.

    http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/osama.htm

    I checked both links and they are legit....



    THIS IS TRUE, CONFIRMED BY GOING TO SNOPES.COM and Urbanlegends.about.com



    Warning! It's real and confirmed.



    Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!



    This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel.



    Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.



    If you get an email along the lines of "Osama bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.



    Confirmed at: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osamahanged.asp



    Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more computer users around the world than "Osama bin Laden Captured," and that's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snare unsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms.



    "Osama bin Laden Captured" isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of a message that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When a message recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks are pictures of Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading an executable Trojan known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download.Trojan, TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp. Clicking the embedded link in the "Osama bin Laden Captured" message auto-executes a file called "EXPLOIT.EXE," which exploits a known security hole to download the Trojan. According to McAfee Security:



    The Trojan opens a random port on the victim's machine. It sends the Port information to a webpage at IP address 66.139.77.145. The Trojan listens on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP addresses. Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems by using the infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass information through it and remain anonymous

    Virus Warning





    If you receive an email entitled "Bedtimes" delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the strips on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR, and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will program your phone auto dial to call only 0898 numbers. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

    IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING. It will drink ALL your beer. FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING??


    It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. If the "Bedtimes" message opens in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

    WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.


    And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll pass wind so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the nearest person . Send this warning to everyone!!! THERE'S A LOT OF SADNESS IN THE WORLD! Right now, as you read this, 17 Million people are having SEX!!! And look at sad you - you're on the computer! [:D]

    Anyone using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL
    and so on. This information arrived this morning, direct from both
    Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has
    access to the Internet.

    You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled
    'Mail Server Report'. If you open either file, a message will appear
    on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer
    beautiful.'


    Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC, and
    the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail
    and password.

    This is a new virus which started to circulate on
    Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the
    anti virus softwares are not capable of destroying it.


    The virus has been created by a hacker who calls
    himself 'life owner'.

    PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!
    Ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!!


    THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.

    So, there was a nasty Merry Christmas virus, but it was three years ago.
    My friend needs to change his calendar, I think it has a little dust on it.

    allen: The 2004 warning should not be confused with the 2007 one as snopes confirms the latter as a virus:

    OK, the Zafi D worm was brought into being for Christmas of 2004. It says that it "dates" from 2004.
    Does that mean that the Zafi D worm is still around?

    Don't you have firewalls and security software that scans incoming e-mail?

    That's the confusing part. I don't know.

    HeDog: I am not sure. I don't know much about computers.
    I have StopZilla, which costs $39 a year. It keeps out adware and that kind of crap, stops pop ups. It really works great, I used to have free Adaware, Stopzilla is ten times better.
    As far as firewalls and security software to scan email, I don't know.
    I am real careful about email, if I don't know the sender I usually don't even open the email. If I don't know the sender, and there is an attachment, I never open it.
