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 <http://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
