Very Urgent Virus Alert

I recieved an e-mail today, supposedly from the FBI informing me that my computer had been scanned for illegal downloads of movies and mp3's and the contents confiscated. it states that I will be recieving further information regarding this, there is an attatchment with it. When I scanned the attatchment it has a virus. DO NOT open it as it's a bad one.

What it is the name of the virus it found? What is the name of the attachment that was infected? I can't find any information about this at symantec so I need more information in order to research it further.

Have you heard of Norton Antivirus? Symantec makes that product as well as a business version. Together with McAfee, I would say they represent the vast majority of reliable virus protection. They have a large database you can search that tells you about all the known viruses as well as hoaxes. It tells you what the possible threat is and how to clean, etc.
