Virus Alert

[Gary Heuston]

this is the new "SirCam" virus...it sends itself out to everyone on your address
book (including lists, etc).  Its quite annoying, and if you use the european
time system on your computer (M/D/Y) there is a chance that it will either whack
everything on your hard drive or fill it up totally with a meaningless text file
(also a chance even if you DON'T use the time system!)...this is probably one of
the more nasty ones that have come out recently.
check this thing out:

sorry for the off topic.
