Michael Jackson didn’t try to kill himself, but malicious hackers want you to think otherwise. An e-mail saying the pop singer tried to commit suicide was sent by hackers who want to destroy your computers.

The e-mail has the subject: “Re: Suicidal attempt.” Opening it would result in this message: “Last night, while in his Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson has made a suicidal attempt.”

Then the e-mail says that to keep reading, users must follow a link, which takes them to a web site. That site appears to be busy and not working, but while the users sit and wait, a Trojan horse virus is installed.

That virus then installs other viruses and soon the computer will not work.

Jackson is facing charges of child molestation.
