Hi David et al,
That is indeed the SirCam virus. Infected computers randomly choose a file
to send to everyone in the victim's address book. The virus may also delete
everything on the hard disk at a later time--October 16, I think. Update
your virus protection software so it can delete the email before you open
it.
