Is everyone else getting this email? Obviously it is a virus of some sort...

I have received about 5 of these emails with some executable attached. (Obviously I haven't run the executable, nor do I intend to or would I suggest anyone else does)

Just curious if a lot of people are getting this email

Jeez, where have you been? It's not like this hasn't been talked about in hundreds of messages here as well as all over the TV news, newspapers, etc.

From your sig you have a Dell computer should have some type of virus software installed to check E-mail attachments

Finally coming out from under our rock are we?;) J/K, but this is really old by now and most people have stopped getting it.

I have been getting several of those, both from the same sender (or is this a part of the virus?). I emailed the person back and warned them that his computer was affected. But if the virus is making up the sending address randomly, then it probably did no good. I use yahoo mail though so I blocked it anyway :D Yahoo email does report it as the Sircam Virus.

Sorry guys, I really dont care enough to keep up with the latest viruses :p
(Though, come to think of it, I had heard of this worm virus a while ago, but I had not received any of them until this week, and I have received numerous ones in the past few days)


I am smart enough to not open attachments from anyone whom I do not know and trust. (And yes, I have virus software installed that checks attachments)

This is the message that comes with the SirCam virus.

At least that is what Inoculate says the attachment is infected with.
