"The U.S. Marshals confirmed it disconnected from the
Justice Department's computers as a protective measure after being
hit by the virus; an FBI official said only that that agency was
experiencing similar issues and was working on the problem.
""We too are evaluating a network issue on our external,
unclassified network that's affecting several government agencies,"
said FBI spokesman Mike Kortan. He did not elaborate or identify
the other agencies."
Wow, those sneaky "computer" viruses! Nobody is safe--
