Technical staff disconnected the Marshals system from the Justice Department's computer system as a precaution.
Marshals spokesman Nikki Credic said at no time was data compromised by the virus.
She said the agency had temporarily shut down their Internet access and some e-mail while the problem is addressed.
The type of virus and its origin haven't yet been determined.
