Email virus! The email reads ...

Can you give me the name of the virus, please, Mickie? I always go check supposed-viruses against symantec's database. These days, many virus alerts are for hoaxes or other false alarms.

Or you could check:

If you don't see the name in the "Top Threats" section, try the SEARCH funcion found down the page a little way.

It's the SirCam virus. Laurel posted a link to a couple of descriptions of it on the general board Saturday.

Sircam hits the FBI cyber-protection unit:

If *they're* not safe, then none of us are safe.

I received 24 copies of it! I hadn't read this posting, but I didn't know the sender. I deleted them all. Now I feel good. MH

After reading the web site (courtesy of Cymbidia) I am not so happy. I downloaded the fix and will use it. Thank you for the posting. MH

I am pleased to report that I used the fix and no contamination found. MH
