Anti-virus software experts of McAfee, leading company in intrusion prevention and security risk management, have detected the ''most destructive virus'' being sent through e-mail invites across the world with pictures of Osama Bin Laden captured/hanged.
''The moment you open e-mails saying ''Osama Bin Laden Captured'' or ''Osama Hanged'', your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it,'' the experts warned today.
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel, according to experts.
''It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch, which ''burns'' the whole C hard disc of your computer,'' they said, adding that CNN and Microsoft have called it the worst and most destructive virus ever respectively.
This virus was discovered by McAfee on 3 January, 2008, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus, the experts said.
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept, the experts said.
