[NTLUG:Discuss] Reporting viruses

[Thomas Cameron]

Unless you have a smoking gun and suffer a pecuniary loss well into the 10's
or even 100's of thousands of dollars, don't bother with the FBI.  They do
not have the manpower to chase down little things like this, and trying to
get them to do so will only make you frustrated.
