Hi All

Just received 2 emails sent directly t  me

one called "splitStringFunction" and one called "CV"

each had attachments that looked like ZIP files but had an additional
extension of ".bat"


I tried t  save one as a text file t  read the program to see what it was
supposed to do but my Antivrus software would not let me. It confirmed that
it was infected with the "W32/SirCam@MM" worm
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@xxxxxxx
for more
info.
The sender was "BRAD" and the address was <something>.au
I cant check because I have already deleted both the emails.
This one is a genuine virus. Please DO NOT click on the attachments in the
email.

Keith
