1841 Don't open your mail from the "FBI"--it's a virus
My provider cleaned it off, but I went in to the FBI page to see if they posted a warning. They did."We're sorry to report yet another wave of virus-laden e-mails sent out with false FBI addresses. This particular e-mail claims the FBI has been monitoring your Internet use...says you've accessed so-called illegal websites...and demands you answer questions—all you have to do is open an attachment, maliciously laced with a variant of the w32/sober virus.
Don't do it! In fact, don't EVER respond to unsolicited poison pills like these. The FBI does not conduct business this way.
Who are the e-mails from? To date, they're being sent out with email addresses of mail@fbi.gov, post@fbi.gov and admin@fbi.gov.
What does the message say? Something like:
So be very cautious about opening attachments.
