Osama vs Bush

A hoax. The text of one such email follows:

Subject: a new virus

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.

The remedy for this has not yet been discovered. So please forward this mail to as many people as possible and let everybody be aware of this.

Remember, hoaxes cost companies - and people - time and money. Please do not forward them to others.
