We've had some mail today that contains a virus. It is known as W32/SirCam@mm or Backdoor.SirCam.  Not from Technet (because no attachments are allowed), but just wanted to pass it on.

The subject will be random, but matches the attachment subject.

The body of the message is very simple. Just 3 or 4 lines. Something to the effect of:

Hi How are you

I send you this file in order to have your advice
----- OR--------
I hope you can help me with this file that I send
----- OR--------
I hope you like the file that I sendo you
----- OR--------
This is the file with the information that you ask for

The attachment has a familiar extension (xls, doc, etc) followed by any of the following (.vbs, .pif, .com, .bat) and is generated from a recently used file on the infected person's system.

The virus sends out the message and attachment to addresses from the e-mail client.  The damage done varies from case to case. 

You may get more info from: [log in to unmask]" target="_blank">http:[log in to unmask] which also has a fix for infected systems.
