An email that claims that Bin Laden has been captured is false and contains a virus. Anyone opening the email will have the Psyme trojan installed on their computer. The BBC has a news story which explains some of the emails going around that contain the virus:
Several versions of the message have been caught by anti-virus and mail-filtering firms but all bear the same fake information about Bin Laden's arrest.
All versions claim that TV news channels such as CNN and the BBC will soon be reporting the arrest and showing more pictures.
One version of the malicious message claims to contain pictures grabbed from a military TV channel. Another directs people to a website holding videos of the capture.
