Hi, I just got done cleaning my puter of the sir cam virus. If
you're unsure go to this site for a free scan. It's really good and is
kept up to date. It picked my virus up and told me how to clean
it. I have norton running all the time and keep it up to date but it
was unable to pick the virus up. http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/Dee

Subject: [LegacyUG] Virus Alert
I am getting a growing number of
"infected" replies from our weekly Legacy News mailings. These short
messages usually don't make much sense, but have an executable file attached
to them. (My anti-virus program and firewall are doing a good job at
catching them.) I doubt the originators of these messages even know their
computers are replicating the virus and sending it out to anyone who sends
them e-mail.
I have also received an alert from McAfee: There is
a large and growing number of consumer computers infected with
W32/SirCam@MM. This is a high risk virus
for consumers.
I encourage everyone to update their anti-virus
programs and don't open an attachments in messages sent to the Legacy
Users Group.
Thanks,
Jim Terry
