There is an email virus doing the rounds, it is supposedly from the FBI and it says.

FBI Virus Emails - Sober Worm

Another variant of the Sober worm, Sober X, is currently hitting inboxes around the world. A frightening aspect of this worm is that it may arrive as an email attachment that pretends to be from America's Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Some version claim to be from the CIA rather than the FBI. The virus email claims that the recipient has been logged visiting illegal websites, and asks him or her to open the attached file to answer a list of questions. However, opening the attachment can infect the computer with a variant of the Sober worm.

Why on earth would anyone be expecting an email from the FBI :loopy:

They have to get out of bed a bit earlier than that to fool us surely.

its like the dodgy 'we'll put money in your account' or 'you've won some bizarre lottery' type emails - I can't believe anyone ever falls for them but they do :)

I know where you are coming from, but you have to remember that some people are easily taken in by official looking mail.

So the warning IMHO is valid.
