RE: Be aware guys - Someone called BRAD sent me a virus DIRECTLY :-(

["Des Gibbons" <des@xxxxxxx>]

Sircam is doing the rounds from about last week.


Usual disclaimers, don't open attatchments unless you are expecting them,
even if from a known source.

as well as using your WAB file, sircam trawls a users internet cache for
mail addresses, i assume you have your email address on your web pages, if
so Brad was just a visitor to your site.

Cheers, Des.
