On Wednesday, the FBI and its partner, the Internet Crime Complaint
Center (IC3), warned against a new email campaign being used by the
creators of the Storm worm botnet. 

The email uses the phrase 'FBI vs. Facebook' in its subject line and
contains a link to view an article about the FBI and Facebook, the
popular social-networking website. Clicking on the link downloads
malicious software onto the victim's computer.  [Unless you're running
