Please do NOT open the attachment in the message called 'Contract 2000' with
the message saying 'Hi send you this for advice' It is another virulent
computer worm called Sircam virus/worm.
Beware of the Sircam virus. It is spread in the usual way, by people opening
attachments in their e-mail that come from unknown sources.
The Globe and Mail reports: "This worm, also called W32/SirCam@mm or
Backdoor.SirCam, arrives in an e-mail with a random subject line that has
the same name as a file that has been attached. The message body reads, 'Hi!
How are you?,' along with a short message 'I send you this file in order to
have your advice,' or 'I hope you can help me with this file that I send,"
or "I hope you like the file that I send you,' or 'This is the file with the
information that you ask for.' It then says 'See you later. Thanks.' In some
cases the message appears in Spanish, starting with 'Hola como estas?'"
Please obey the golden rule: don't open unexpected attachments. Ever.
If you've opened the attachment, please go to

Your computer may be infected
