Also, you could find BETTER forums than these to post info about Osama.
Finally, cross-posting this kind of info into multiple
newsgroups is NOT considered good etiquette.
(But, expecting good etiquette from a college-student
is probably MY mistake.)

> 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..

Check your antivirus, its wrong. This is Trojan.Hackarmy.Q, not
BackDoor-AZV.gen.
$ clamscan Osama\ Dead.exe

Well I was only going by what VIREX said which is from McAfee which is a
reliable source. The fact that it found it (who is to say your anti virus
isnt wrong!McAfee notes over 80,000 threats yours seems to have only 22838)
is the main point here, at least people get the message that there is
something up with the file and they should be carefull
