The FBI reports that unsolicited e-mails which look like they come from fbi.gov contain attachments with a computer virus in them. The FBI is investigating this matter. It says its unrelated to a security breach that happened earlier this month.

The e-mails state that recipients have been to illegal web sites and that "Internet Fraud Complaint Center" is monitoring how they use the internet.

The FBI states: "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."
