Michael Jackson suicide attempt virus REAL

[Guest guest]

Whenever I get a virus report I google it first with 'hoax'-----99% are phoney---apparently this one is real---be aware. (Not that I would expect anyone on this list to open any Michael Jackson emails to start with )---but just in case.....

 

The e-mail, with the subject line: Re: Suicidal attempt begins: Last night, while in his Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson has made a suicidal attempt.

 

If you , Carole Theriault, security consultant for Sophos, said, "the Web site displays a message saying it is too busy, which may not surprise people who think it might contain genuine breaking news about Michael Jackson.

However, this is a diversionary tactic -- because behind-the-scenes the Web site is downloading malware (malacious software) onto the user's computer without their knowledge.(UPI)
