My isp just sent this warning and since this virus looks like it's coming from the FBI, it might be tempting to open:
Dear Nauticom Customer,
As a courtesy to you, we are advising that you be aware of Internet Virus/Email Worm, W32.Sober.K@mm. W32.Sober.K@mm is a mass-mailing worm that sends itself to email addresses gathered from a compromised computer. The FBI has issued a warning about the W32.Sober.K@mm virus, as it sometimes poses as a message from the federal law enforcement agency.
The From Address is spoofed. Possible From Addresses: Officer@FBI.gov Admin@FBI.gov Web@FBI.gov FBI@FBI.gov Service Webmaster Register Security@microsoft.com
Possible Subjects: Mail_delivery_failed Alert! New Sober Worm! Attachment: No Virus found Mail-Scanner: No Virus detected AntiVirus: Found to be clean You visit illegal websites
Possible Message Text:
Dear Sir/Madam,
we have logged your IP-address on more than 40 illegal Websites.
Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached.
Yours faithfully, M. John Stellford
Federal Bureau of Investigation -FBI- 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Room 2130 Washington, DC 20535 (202) 324-3000
Karen Live long and prosper

Darbie, I agree! If they had to plan a cruise they wouldn't have enough time for virus making :)

Thanks, Karen.
People are so gullible to think the FBI would send out mass emails. It never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for the warning, Karen! I am sure I would be suspicious, but you never know.
