Computer virus strikes US Marshals, FBI affected
A mystery computer virus affected the computer networks of the US Marshals and FBI. Both of them had shut down their network to prevent further spreading and destruction. The computer network have been disconnected from the Justice Department as a preventive measure. The problem of virus starts in the Thursday. The origin of the virus has not been identified. Besides the external network, the law enforcement department has its own internal network to prevent the snoopers from accessing the sensitive data. The internet access and e-mail services of the US Marshals and FBI had been disabled while the staff worked on the problem.

Antivirus 2009- A new virus
A new threat that comes disguised as a genuine antivirus program has become
increasingly prevalent . Offering to scan and remove malware from your
PC, this rogue will actually install a Trojan on your unsuspecting system. The process is usually initiated when you click a link for what you believe is valid security software or its vendor's site.
Such adverts are not only a nuisance when browsing online -- fake ads appear on reputable sites that make use of third-party advertising -- but they are designed to rip off consumers by tempting them to pay for a worthless program.
Worse still, these rogue applications infect your PC with a problem they claim can only be 'fixed' by purchasing extra software.If you have fallen victim to this virus hoax, stop by the Help Desk immediately to reserve time for virus removal from your system.
