I think you will have egg on your face 24 hours from now. It is now 2:30pm
eastern time, and none
of the cable-news networks have mentioned anything about this. (I'm
hard-pressed to believe that
the cable-news people are remaining silent waiting for the Bush-wacker to
tell them it's ok to
talk about this. ;^) )

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.)

My 2-cents...

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.

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
