Warning over Michael Jackson email virus

SINGAPORE: Computer security firm Sophos issued a warning yesterday about an Internet virus transmitted from a mass email claiming to contain secret songs and photos of Michael Jackson.

The email comes with the subject “Remembering Michael Jackson” and is sent from “[email protected]”, Sophos said in a statement. It tells recipients an attached file titled “Michael songs and pictures.zip” contains secret songs and photos of the pop music icon, who died on June 25. Sophos warned computer users not to open the attachment.

little computers? laptops?? Well, I don't think so,it says thru e-mails. So,anyone's PCs/lappies are vulnerable once he's online I guess. Unless your anti-virus is much more powerful than these monsters.LOL!
