    My husband heard on our local radio station about a video on Facebook about Bin Laden's death, if you come across it don't open it, it's supposedly a virus.

      On one of the links in one of the many internet stories about Bin Laden and the pictures of his body does, apparently, have a Trojan horse virus.

      If you take your normal precautions (you do, don't you?) with any links, attachments and unsolicited emails then you won't have a problem.

      In this particular instance I don't really have much sympathy for people who want to see details of a dead body!

      Nor me, I was a mortuary attendant at one time. I could still do the job if I had to, but would rather not.

      Thanks Shiney, I agree with you. But there are some weird and morbid people in this world of ours. Those same people are the ones that slow down to gawp at a motorway accident too!
