Osama Vs Bush

The text of the hoax reads as follows:

Hi All,
Be Careful.

There's a new virus which was found recently which will erase the whole 'C' drive. If u get a mail with the subject "Osama Vs Bush", please delete that mail right away. Otherwise it will erase the whole C drive.

As soon as you open it, it asks "will this war affect the world economy?". If you click on any button, your system will be shut down and will never boot again. It already caused a major damage in the US, INDIA and few other parts of the world.

Many virus hoaxes:

• falsely claim to describe an extremely dangerous virus
• use pseudo-technical language to make impressive-sounding (but impossible) claims
• falsely claim that the report was issued or confirmed by a well-known company
• ask you to forward it to all your friends and colleagues

As usual, you are urged not to pass on warnings of this kind, as the continued re-forwarding of these hoaxes simply wastes time and email bandwidth.

It is possible that you may receive a hoax via email with a file attached. Obviously, such file attachments should be treated with caution as they may be virus infected. Sophos recommends deleting virus hoax emails, whether they contain file attachments or not.
