Anybody else get an email from miami@fbi.gov? I don't know who the hay that is but reading fbi.gov I assumed it was FBI, as in Federal Bereau of Investigation, and gov as in government. I knew of no reason to open it but out of sheer curiousity/fear caused by this person whom I don't know telling me "see you soon" I opened it and downloaded the attached file anyway. I was unable to view the download so know I'm starting to fear that I may have stupidly downloaded a virus. Has anybody else received this mysterious email? I'm hoping it was just a survey or something that the FBI may have been doing because of the recent tragedy because it said "Questions for OIJ asked on September 20, 2001" under subject and all it said in the message was....

"Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks"
-------------------------------------------------------
And it was the see you later part that kind of made me think that this wasn't a survey and also kind of freaked me out. Now considering I don't have a an angry bookie whom I owe money to I'm begining to think I'm fucked and may have downloaded that new virus that is supposedly going around. I'm no computer whiz so if anybody can help me out here I'd greatly appreciative.
