Clever Virus…

Got this in my inbox today:

Turn on your TV. Osama Bin Laden has been captured. While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures. I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV. Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture. I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time. Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon. God bless the USA! Edna Ott

The e-mail contained a .zip file that, when unpacked has a .scr file.

This is most likely a variant of the W32/Kickin@MM virus, and is definitely not photos of a captured Bin Laden, which as of yet, hasn’t shown up on any news sites or TV channels.
