Virus Alert!

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 Source: Africa Online

Africa Online has announced that there is another virus in town.

TROJ_SIRCAM.A

TROJ_SIRCAM has now been upgraded to HIGH RISK. The worm propagates via email using SMTP commands and sends copies of itself to all addresses in an infected user's address book. It arrives in an email with a random subject line and an attachment by the same name. It also propagates via shared network drives.

If you receive any mail with an attachment with the following text in the body of the message, please delete it: "Hi! How are you", then one of the following as the next line of the message:

"I send you this file in order to have your advice"

"I hope you like the file that I send you"

"I hope you can help me with this file that I send" or

"This is the file with the information you ask for"

The last line of the message always reads: "See you later. Thanks".
