"Virus?"

OK,

I've been away on holiday for a week....my parents checked my e-mail and I recived an e-mail with the following text:

Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks





it contained a file called LCC re pension CoA.doc.pif

When i looked at the file, it had no relivance to anything i'm invilved with at all...

This morning, i have recieved 3 mails from "Mail Delivery Subsystem" saying that it could not deliver some e-mails that I, or anyone else who uses my computer has sent...

They all contained files that are in the My Documents folder...

Oh, well I was meaning to upgrade to Windows 2000 anyway!

Go to the page above tells you all about the virus once you have cleaned your system. Email all your contacts telling them that they may have received a virus from you.

Oh yeah the virus is called sircam.

don't worry about turbonutter mate, he says this yet just sends files through e-mail without any kind of message attached, I swear he's trying to give me a virus!

Beat your dad over the head for being such an idiot.

I don't know wether I'm going to tell you this because my policy is anyone who is stupid enough to open an attachment like that deserves a virus.

Urgh, I suppose so then. Download some form of antivirus software from somewhere. That or try symantec.com, they sometimes have instructions.

yes,

the file has been opened.... my dad opened it when he downloaded it.... i saw the printed off copy before the copy on the screen....

do you know how to get rid of the virus?

I've got that virus many, many times but I've set up Outlook not to download it. I haven't had any of your kind of problems but it depends if anyone has opened the file. If they had then that could happen. If anyone else uses your PC ask them if they did.
