FDIC E-Mails Are Fakes Too

Continuing the "don't do it, it's a trick" theme we apparently have going on today, there is a fake FDIC e-mail making the rounds.
E-mails fraudulently claiming to be from the FDIC are attempting to trick recipients into installing unknown software on personal computers. These e-mails falsely indicate that recipients should download and open a "personal FDIC insurance file" to check their deposit insurance coverage. The "insurance file" may actually be a form of spyware or malicious code and may collect personal or confidential information.
