Sircam is rated high-risk right now. It will spread by email using addresses from Windows’ address books, attaching a random file from the “My Documents” folder. Yes, I’m sure you all want your private files circulating around the Internet! It also does more nasty stuff, and I adamantly suggest that you read some first-hand information to protect yourself (and your friends).

messages with it before they reach my computer and then send me a niec
message saying they did so, but still, I think this the first time I’ve
recieved one virus so many times.
