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!
