Possible email virus circulating . . .

Below is the copied text of an email I received from ksand@vt.edu:

****************** Virus Warning Message (on zidane.cc.vt.edu)

Found virus TROJ_SIRCAM.A in file paper # 2.doc.bat
The uncleanable file was deleted.


Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks

****************** Virus Warning Message (on zidane.cc.vt.edu)

paper # 2.doc.bat was removed from here because it contained a virus.


Here’s the other pertinent info:

Subject: paper # 2
From: ksand@vt.edu
Attachments: attachment-2, attachment-3, attachment-4


I don’t know if this is just me (I’ve gotten a very similar email before) or if this thing is going to be making the rounds. Mcafee.com doesn’t have anything about it on their website yet.

Sircam’s been around for awhile, I got it a bunch of times a few months ago and still get a few now & then.

More info here.
