Friday morning I recieved an email from a friend, it looked as though he was sending me a .doc to look over. To my dismay, it was a worm that had infected him. I have found little information about this worm, Mostly located at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm () mm html The Worm will come from someone that has you on there contact list, and will have a differnt subject line determined by the attached file.
Don't let the e-mail tip-off fool you. In our University environment we find this and related worms spread primarily via unprotected writeable Windows shares. It also gets in when a user without up-to-date anti-virus software accesses an e-mail server other than our own which has an anti-virus filter. Bim-ba-boom! -- Greg Johnson, MU IAT Services, 882-5008
