Default Osama Bin-Laden malware?

I've just been sent the following message.
Emails with pictures of hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!
Is it valid?
I did try to ask AVG but had to jump through so many hoops I gave up.

BML, the message is valid but outdated. See Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp.

Any email that makes this claim is nothing more than a chain (spam) letter.
