SirCam virus - Can you get at those juicy files?

“Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice See you later. Thanks”

Gees, I keep getting those… And I KNOW they’re a virus but I can’t help myself… I gotta see what these files are! Got a couple ones called “essays,” and a “Letter to Jen,” and other neat stuff… Is there any way to open them without getting the virus? Just can’t pass up this opportunity to look at other people’s private files…

(P.S. C’mon, we all wanna look at those attachments, don’t we?)

Don’t Get Mad At SirCam, Get Even

I’ve been reading them since I first started getting them. Just open them in your favorite text editor. (I sic BBEdit at them). You lose whatever formatting they had originally but you can read the text.

I don’t know about peeling out JPEGs or Bryce 3D worlds; so far everything that has been SirCammed to me has been a Word or an Excel document.
