Use a privacy service like Ultimate Anonymity ( Ultimate-Anonymity.com ) for Anonymous Web Surfing. Using a service like this, you throw a false IP address to the sebsites you click on so if someone does "trap" the IP address, they are chasing ghosts!

Though the name of the sender and a couple other details have changed, the wording is nearly the same as in this entry on Snopes from *February*! http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/fbi.asp And really, a bit of common sense would be nice... would the FBI *really* send its questionnaires out in the form of a Windows-only executable?
