See http://www.f-secure.fi/v-descs/sircam.shtml.
Basically, it:
-is called SirCam.
-works only on Windows, and only if you use Outlook or Outlook express
as your email client.
-infects your computer only if you open the attachment (and you use
Windows, Outlook, etc.).
-installs itself on your computer, then sends copies of itself to other
computers via email messages or over a LAN by looking for Windows
shares.
-when it sends copies of itself, it picks random files from your disk to
send to others, so, it may be distributing your confidential
information.
-on a random basis, it may either erase the hard drive (partition)
containing Windows, or fill it up with garbage.
