Virus alert.......maybe?

[RhumbRunner13]

I checked my Hotmail account a while ago through MSN.
There was a message identified as;
"john gravenst press release"

Went to hotmail and tried to read it, results:

Name of File Virus Scan Result
pressrelease.doc.pif W32/SirCam@MM Virus Found

Don't know folks, I hate "the sky is falling" alarmists, but this was scanned by Hotmail's McAfee program.

Keep your heads up and stay alert.

Interesting.......

Sir Cam has been making it's rounds for a long time..

because the McAfee report off the Hotmail site indicated specifically that there was "no known cure".

It's dangerous, but it can be removed. It's HIGHLY annoying.
