Warning = it's real & confirmed.

 Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the
 moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will
 not be able to fix it!!!

 This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but
 mainly in the US and Israel.

 Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.

 Confirmed at: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp

 Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more
 computer users around the world than "Osama bin Laden Captured," and
 that's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snare
 unsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms.

 "Osama bin Laden Captured" isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of a
 message that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When a message
 recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks are pictures of
 Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading an executable Trojan
 known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download.Trojan,
 TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp.  Clicking the embedded link in
 the "Osama bin Laden Captured" message auto-executes a file called
 "EXPLOIT.EXE," which exploits a known security hole to download the
 Trojan. According to McAfee Security:


The Trojan opens a random port on the victim's machine. It sends the Port
information to a webpage at IP address 66.139.77.145. The Trojan listens
on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP
 addresses. Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems
 by using the infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass
 information through it and remain anonymous.

 Microsoft has made available updates that close the hole exploited by
this Trojan.

Thanks for the warning

Thanks

The closest one I've seen for removing spyware is free at http://www.spywareinfo.com/xscan.php
You need to say "Yes" or click "Install" the 1st time to the message for the X-Cleaner control. Run it about once a week or more and you should be fine.

cool. just ran the program and had a bunch of spyware removed. thanks.
