Subject: Possible Virus

Just a word of warning, I keep getting an email from someone called

with an attachment entitled 'Therapy notes' and a message that she is

looking for advice. I emailed back to ask if she had sent it to the right

person, but no response. I don't like opening attachments from unknown

people, in case of virus. I have recieved this message 3 times, but with no

other reposnse, so maybe there could be a virus around our group.

-============= YES! it's a virus. look for the following in the text:

Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks

--there are other text lines, but that one is the most common.

hi there,

just wanted to forward some information on a virus that may affect you.  i

received an e-mail that contained the virus. however, since it raised a few

red flags (didn't know the sender, extention wasn't only " .doc " , etc) i did

not open it. after checking with Semantic i found the following information

Subject: The subject of the email will be random, and will be the same

                   as the file name of the email attachment.

                   Attachment: The attachment is a file taken from the

sender's computer  and will have the extension .bat, .com, .lnk or .pif added

to it.

                   Message: The message body will be semi-random, but will

always

                   contain one of the following two lines (either English or

Spanish) as the  first and last sentences of the message.

                   English Version:

                   First line: Hi! How are you?

                   Last line: See you later. Thanks

if you are not sure if you have the virus, i would still run the fix tool. it

will let you know if you had it when it's done running.

to run the fix tool:  

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.wormmm (DOT) removal.tool.htm

l

                 

To obtain and run the tool:

                        1. Go to http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/FixSirc.com

                        2. Download the Fixsirc.com file to the a convenient

location, such as your download folder or the Windows desktop.

3. then just open the file and click to start.

DELETE the e-mail immediately and forward the information to everyone on your

address book. the virus attaches to your address book. so, LOOK OUT for the

same virus as attachments from people you know.
