I recieved this e-mail through jovimail.com today and it weirded me out a lot.

There was an attachment that was an EXE file with it. The email in total was 102kb. The address for the FBI seems to be accurate and my brother told me comcast doesnt range that far in IPs (we use comcast). He also pointed out that if they were to list what they found, it would be in the em-ial or a text document, not an exe file. and They dont specify any specific material or address me by name. My brother ran a check and Cryptsoft.com seems to be ownedd by Tim something. Hoever, cryptsoft.com doesnt work. I fan a google search and one result showed a page from "sam@cryptsoft.com" and one of the things on the page said "CoderPunks"
Do you think I hhave anything to worry about? I know most information we gathered points to no, but i'm still very uneasy about it. I dont want to download the file in case it is a virus, but then again, ive no way to find out! If anyone can tell me if they got this also, or have any ideas in what I should do, please let me know.
