PSA

Be careful.

There's an e-mail circulating around with "Fidel Castro Dead" as a subject that's spreading a virus.

Via Drudge Report:

A spam e-mail with messages including "Fidel Castro dead" and "Saddam Hussein safe and sound" contains a virus which has infected thousands of computers, Spain's Association of Internauts has said.

With speculation rife about the Cuban leader's health, the association said that a computer would be infected by the virus if the recipient opened the message.

"The virus is affecting thousands of computers," the association said Monday.

The first thing that comes to mind when reading this is:

Why don't WE have an Association of Internauts?!?!?
