I'd be real interested to hear if anybody here actually finds this baddy on their system. Mac users can get it too.

Never seen a case before where the FBI gets involved with mere diagnostics in this kind of case. Imo it is waaaaaaaay beyond creepy that they would involve themselves in a way where they are reviewing the contents of potentially 10s of millions of computers.

Very odd.

Honestly, I hadn't thought about that aspect. Now you've done it: I'm getting creeped out, too!

Maybe it really isn't a virus. Maybe the FBI wanted to actually snoop through millions of computers without legal recourse, by simply planting a "Orson Wells War of the Worlds" story tactic...

It would not surprise me at all.

Looks like it was a big fizzle. Either that or the FBI just wanted to see who'd panic. ;-)

I'm guessing most folks on this site are on some sort of watch list already...

Big Sis is watching.
