<div id="ygrps-yiv-593726459">I never got any of the email virus that made the news, presumably<br/>
because my correspondents are more clued than most.<br/>
<br/>
Except for SirCam.  I&#39;ve received about four copies of that.<br/>
(Of course it won&#39;t run on Linux.)<br/>

SirCam Ready to Drop Payload<br/>

I send you this article in order to give you advice: SirCam, the <br/>
annoying e-mail worm that simply won&#39;t go away, will turn feral Oct. <br/>
16.<br/>
<br/>
According to analysis of SirCam&#39;s code, every year on Oct. 16 the <br/>
worm will delete all the files and folders contained on the hard <br/>
drives of randomly selected SirCam-infected computers.<br/>
<br/>
Those who have clicked on a file attached to an e-mail that reads, in <br/>
part, &quot;I send you this file in order to have your advice,&quot; have a few <br/>
days to make sure the worm is not lurking in their computers.<br/>
