Re: strange emails (New information on the Sircam.Worm virus)



The W32.Sircam Worm has been upgraded to a threat level 4 (on a scale of 5,
with 5 being the most serious). According to experts it appears to pose as
widespread a threat as the Love Bug and Melissa viruses in both its ability
to damage home and business computer systems and in its widespread
distribution. If you haven't upgraded your system's virus definitions
recently, you should now. Here are places where you can go to get more
information, and a patch.

Accurate and up to date assessments of the Sircam.Worm can be found at these
following (3) links.
