> This is a for-real virus warning.  I was just emailed a virus-laden
> attachment from bob at prodigy.net.mx with the subject line "Blank - Kingdom
of
> Atlantia Rapier Marshal Paperwork"
>
> The attachment contained the W32/SirCam at MM virus, a worm which is
documented
> on the Symantec Anti-Virus Research Center (SARC.com) website.  This is a
> new virus, first reported on 7/17/01.  Information on removing this worm
can
> be found at:

> http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html
>
> Note, I have received at least TWO emails from "bob", both of them with
> SCA-related information in the subject line.  The body of the email in
both
> cases was identical (which is a tip-off):
>
> >Hi! How are you?
> >
> >I send you this file in order to have your advice
> >
> >See you later. Thanks

> Look VERY carefully at any attachments you may receive, especially if it
> appears to be coming from someone you do not know.  The first email I
> received contained a .doc file which had .com appended to the end (as in
> filename.doc.com), the second was filename.doc.bat.  Both .com and .bat
> files are executables, and receiving a file of either type in an
unsolicited
> email should immediately tip you off that something is rotten in Denmark.

> Best of luck!
