...or CIA, DON'T OPEN IT....it's a new virus that's been spreading rapidly all over the web.

It could be written in either English or German (depending on the suffix of your address), and supposedly is a warning that some Gov't. agency has you logged into "30 illegal websites", then asks you to open a zip file to "answer some questions". :grrr:

I figure they can come get me at home or at my place of work,
if they want me THAT bad.

They circulated the warning at work. I doubt that I'm on their list.

Got 2 this morning. One from Department @fbi.gov and the other was from post @cia.gov. I never seem to recieve none of the new viruses being sent around, but I got these. Did not open them, I went to those 2 sites to see if it was indeed a site, and it wasn't. Don't understand why these people get such a kick out of screwing up peoples computers. :roll:

I got the email a couple of days ago, deleted it immediately. I figured they could come see me too

I've been getting these, plus also emails claiming to have new account and password information from AOL or ICQ. Attachments are executables disguised as .zip files.

Bottom line - don't ever open attachments to unsolicited emails.

I've been getting them the past two days. I did see in the newspaper a little article about it stating that the FBI is investigating it.

Talk about pissing off the wrong people! I hope they get the little jerk(s)!

Thanks Bill!

I never open emails if they have a file attached. I have a really good virus program but I never take the chance it may miss something. :wink:

Hahah yeah reminds me of that movie where the lady has an intruder in her house and she calls 911 and says to them with the intruder right in front of her telling her that "ah you don;t have the guts to use that gun" ..she says to the 911 operator.....

" Hi, this is Blah blah blah, I live at blah blah blah, come quick, I just killed an intruder!"

:eek:
