the script kiddies are at it again, this time playing on war related emotions...win-doze users, be careful what you open.
One variation claims the attachment contains pictures of Iraq taken by U.S. spy satellites; another purports to contain a pro-America screensaver and urges people to display it to show support in the war against terrorism. Others come with messages claiming the attachment is either an anti-George W.

It also scans the machine for security software -- such as McAfee, Norton or Sophos antivirus products -- and shuts them down.
