> As you may be aware, a new and highly destructive virus is in circulation.
> This virus is somewhat different than the type with which most of us are
> familiar due to the inclusion of a file attachment which can look like a
> Word, Excel, or other known document type.
>
> This new virus, called SirCam, can inflict significant damage by making an
> infected PC unable to run programs and by potentially deleting all of the
> files on the hard drive. It can appear in both Spanish and English
> language versions.
>
> For your protection, the IT department has put filters and virus
> signatures in place to detect the virus, prevent it from infecting your PC
> and stop it from spreading to your Outlook contacts. If the virus is
> detected on your PC, please contact the Help Desk immediately and a member
> of the IT staff will assist you in quarantining it.

> In the interest of protecting your home PC from contracting the virus
> through your personal e-mail account, you should be aware of the hallmarks
> of this virus. SirCam is transmitted via an e-mail from someone you know.
> The subject line is generated randomly, but is often a document name. The
> message will have an attachment and will contain the text listed below.
>
> If you receive such a message, delete it immediately without opening the
> attachment and then empty your deleted items folder. The attachment is
> what allows SirCam to proliferate, so if you delete the message without
> opening the attachment, you will not contract the virus.
