ken driscoll, baltimore: 3 3 you may have noticed the welll it fell off on the way back from a children'sospital in morgantown, west virginia last week. 3 a really bad day for some gullible internet users. there's a new virus targeting computers... and experts say... it's easy o be fooled. fooled. the idea behind the "f-b-i ransom" virus... is to trick people into thinking they have done something wrong. the virus locks down your computer with a message -- supposeely from the f-b-i... hundred-dollars to have it colburn says: "the whole idea is to infect your machine give you a big scary warning the fbi is involved and then giving you a way to make sure nothing happens." happens." removing the virus can be tricky....you should ask for help if you think you may have trouble removing it yourself. good day for getting your luggage.airlines are delivering bags on time more than ver.a reeort shows that 99- point- one percent of checked baggage arrived on time in 2011.this is the highest rate on record.all told, 25-million bags were mishandled last year... down from 32-million bags the yeaa befo
