Thread Name: Help: Virus - 'circam-a'
Subject: Virus - 'circam-a'?
I was told today, about a virus called 'circam-a'. It arrived a local place of work, where it was dealt with; but not before it had started to dismantle the hard-drive of the computer that sent it.
Apparently it is another virus that spreads by sending 'innocent' e-mails to everyone in the victim's address book.- The only giveaway is 'circam-a'.
I have looked at the Symantec web site and the only thing I can find that comes close is the W32.Sircam.worm@mm. Have I been misinformed or is this something new?
