I clicked on the file a while back, nothing appeared to happen.
(I didn't download it, just clicked).
Do you have to download and open it to be infected.
Anyway I ran an uptodate AVG on my comp and it found nowt.
Ii didnt have the registry key either.
Also does it only affect certain systems ie not windows98?
The sophos? site is *unclear* about this, they sound like an
incompedent bunch to me.
I also found the following similar thing
=========================
Early this morning Arnold Schwarzenegger was found hanging by his neck from
the large oak tree in his Californian garden. In a suicide note found at
the scene he tells of his sordid sex life and lack of will to live. A copy
of the suicide note which was found by journalists has been included here

============================
Is this also a virus, if it is AVG didn't detect it, nor did yahoo's
email anti-virus cos I emailed it to my account and scanned it.
There seems very little info about this virus in the public
domain.
If I was a cynical bugger (which I am) I would say it was created
by an Anti-virus firm (not mentioning any names here) as a publicity
stunt. Mind you on second thought that is much to far fetched.
Also the message below gives the decode domain name,
===========================
Osama Bin Ladin was found hanged by two CNN journalists early Wedensday
evening. As evidence they took several photos, some of which i have
included here. As yet, this information has not hit the headlines due to
Bush wanting confirmation of his identity but the journalists have released
some early photos over the internet..

==============================
Which is now dead, maybe it was dead the first time I clicked
on it?
What normally happens when you click on a .zip file link normally?
Does it download and run the file? I am unsure myself.
Cheers
