Virus Alert: It's official, no one is safe from the SirCam virus. Just joking! But I recently got my first copy sent to my home email and I thought I'd share the wealth. This virus sends a message that looks like this:

Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks

{or something very similar to it}
And has an attachment that has a double-extension* then delete the message. You will be OK as long as you do not try to view, launch or detach the attachment. Just reading the email will not infect your machine.

*An extension is the (usually) three letter code after the dot in a file name. Examples: .exe, .htm, .doc

A double-extension is when two of these are placed together. This is usually a warning sign that the file might be carrying a virus. Examples: .doc.exe, .htm.pif

For more information, may I suggest McAfee.com's page about this virus.
