Bin Laden video a virus
The FBI put out a warning that the Bin Laden video is a fake and contains a virus
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation warned computer users Tuesday that messages claiming to include photos and videos of Osama bin Laden's death actually contain a virus that could steal personal information.
The warning comes as security companies said that they've spotted the first samples of malicious software disguised as photos of the dead Al Qaeda leader.
Security vendor F-Secure said Tuesday that criminals are e-mailing a password-stealing Trojan horse program called Banload to victims, and Symantec said it's seen criminals spamming victims with links to fake "Osama dead" news articles that launch Web-based attacks on visitors.

Thanks Dan, but I was thinking he was a virus so why would anyone want to look at a virus?

Is that the one from Youtube? I would imagine that Youtube has some pretty good virus protection.
I think what the FBI is waring about is fake photos and vids that require you to use a password. The password is sent to your email address and from there, once you open it, it pretty much runs a muck

It's also going around facebook. It used the name of one of my friends, and even posted it on his wall to make it look like he sent it.
