Earlier this week we issued a warning about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) attacks and malware attacks related to news about Osama Bin Laden. This has escalated with the controversy on releasing post-mortum photos of Osama Bin Laden. The FBI has issued a warning about malware being spread through links claiming to show these pictures. The White House has stated that these photos will not be released, so users should be aware that these claims are false and could lead to malware infection.

So basically – DON’T FALL FOR THOSE LINKS!!! Be smart and stop being so damn curious about some dead terrorist – wait and watch it on TV or the newspaper all old school like. If you get infected from one of these links just remember this: NO I WON’T FIX YOUR DAMN COMPUTER! hahaha
