Subject: [TowerTalk] V_I_R_U_S A_L_E_R_T
I second what Dave said about the SirCam worm. BE CAREFUL!!! Over a three
day period, I received this thing 30 times on three different email
addresses!
The text on the ones I received stated:
I send this file for your advice
or something very close. Attachment is usually 159kb from what I've seen,
although Dave says can be much bigger! (I even called a van lines company
in AB, Canada and asked them to investigate their mail server!)
Supposedly, this worm can (and may) delete all files on the C: drive in
mid-October.
ZDNet also has good info on this bug. Do a search for SirCam. Choose
"Don't tip your hat..." They had my copy pegged exactly!
