abuse@gov.us
is a known virus carrier which has attachments.It states they have a list of illegal sites they know you have visited. If you ever get an E-Mail with that address-delete it immediately&get on with your life!

For one thing, there is no such thing as an illegal site, unless a person is into kiddie porn&in such cases the government would not send you an E-Mail--they'd visit you personally!
Another thing, anything connected with government has domain of .govt.

I have recieved two such E-Mails in the past month&they originated from a +2 Timezone---whoever is doing this I assure them I am 10 steps ahead&they are wasting their time......WebTv Systems cannot get, or send viruses.

From the information I dug up through search, its not a major virus--just one that can be annoying by slowing your computer down&in some instants crashing it. The virus does not even have a name--it's just carried on that address in the form of a ZIP attchment. As long as you do not open the attachment, you are OK.
Plus, its readily taken care of by Anti-virus software.

So, if you get an E-Mail from FBI--don't worry, you are not under investigation--its just some Nut trying to send you a Virus!

Damn I hate these people who create such embarrasing programs (viruses). The only thing I hate more when you're attacked by someone. I was a target several times, but my firewall successfully protected me (last time someone from Redmond attacked me). :splat:

browneyed girl: thx for the warning!

Most computer viruses are just experiments made by computer students. Fair enough.

Don't fucking experiment on us though!!!

What is really bad is those "phishing" E-Mails, where a person is sent an E-Mail asking for their account number to be verified at a bank. No bank does that....But lots of people have fell prey to that fraud scheme.

Luckily the FBI is rarely in contact with ordinary Finnish civilians like me.

Thanks for the hint, though. I'll keep an eye open for any suspicious mails.
