 The FBI warned Tuesday that a computer virus is being spread through unsolicited e-mails that purport to come from the FBI. The e-mails appear to come from an fbi.gov address. They tell recipients that they have accessed illegal Web sites and that their Internet use has been monitored by the FBI's ``Internet Fraud Complaint Center,'' the FBI said. The messages then direct recipients to open an attachment and answer questions. The computer virus is in the attachment. ``Recipients of this or similar solicitations should know that the FBI does not engage in the practice of sending unsolicited e-mails to the public in this manner,'' the FBI said in a statement. The bureau is investigating the phony e-mails. | I'll wager this one gets priority |
