Jeez, I have been sent the SirCam virus about 4 times now just today. And this is from people I don't even know!!

I've received it twice, AND I OPENED IT TWICE!!!!!!

No wait, no..I'm not an idiot.

I've cleaned it out of some friends system though.

DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

I've received it twice. Thankfully, I don't open e-mail attachments when a virus is so obvious.

yeah.. I keep getting it too, from some Ted guy, not anyone I know. It's so blatantly a virus too...
"can you please look at my file, the file is good, tell me your advice".. or some crap.. like, you gotta be a grade A moron to open up something like that. What does it do to your system though anyway?

Got it for the first time today. Some random person with a weird sounding name was the sender. I figured it was the virus and Norton Antivirus picked it up and notified me. DAMN, NA kicks ass. Haven't had a single virus problem since I switched over from MacSUCKafee.

Nope, not yet
Wouldn't matter- %95 of any mail with Attachments gets pitched from my in-box without opening

Haven't received it at home...but we have at work a couple times. So, I wrote out a memo detailing the virus and posted it for all to see. Not a big deal, but it'll probably get me huge brownie points from my computer illiterate boss (i.e. she'll think I saved the world and her entire fortune).
