A worm virus named "W32.Sircam.Worm@mm" has been spreading through
emails since as early as Tuesday, July 17, 2001. As of today the virus has
caused more problems than any other virus to hit the Internet world.

The worst part of the virus is its ability to pull at random a file on your
harddrive, and sending it to hundreds of strangers around the world. So far
the virus has stolen personal bank account information, company financial
statements, and various confidential files of all sorts.  

An infected email will have a random subject (named after the file it steals),
and a message text such as:

"Hi! How are you?", 
"I send you this file in order to have your advice", and
"See you later. Thanks." 

The attachment will have an extension such as .doc, .xls, .zip, .com, .exe,
and a host of others.  

Variations of the W32.Sircam.Worm@mm virus will be in the following form:
W32/SirCam@mm
Backdoor.SirCam

If you see such a file or an email attachment remotely close, even from a sender 
you know, DO NOT OPEN the email. DELETE the email immediately.
