Doug-
Several people got this exact email at my office yesterday and it was on all over the news .

FYI - Never, Ever Open a Zip File attachment unless the sender told you he was sending it over.

yes RR has not been as fast as when i first got it but it still beats the AOL and the dial up i used to have , be careful i think RR makes you sign for 2 years

CNN even has a writeup about it. Just another in a long chain of losers that think email scam/spam/viruses are funny. It's a trend that will fade, because most of us don't care anymore, nor are we fooled.

Looks like it got your attention.

So what web sites have you been looking at?

Here's a tip. If you get email asking for your social security number or bank account number don't give it to them.

Watch out for several variations of this virus but yes anyone that gets CIA or FBI makes them a bit nervouse esp all us surfers

That comes from a great company and this virus is a medium risk that can wipe your system out for a fresh scrubdown.

So boys dont open shit if you not expecting it ! Esp watch for Zip files.
some files will look like a image file and bamm you infected.
Remember update your MS BLUESCREEN every time there is an update avail

If you are a sucker, like me, that opened the virus, you can download a free removal tool from the following website: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...ober.x@mm.html
