(ET) sircan32 is a Virus!

["Paul Heinzerling" <pheinzerling uakron edu>]

Yes, Sircan32 is a virus.  It first causes itself to be mailed to everyone
in your Outlook or Outlook Express mailing list, and then eventually wreaks
havoc with your machine.  I've had it sent to me several times, but Norton
AntiViurs caught it.  Best to just delete the message without opening it.
For sure, don't open the attachment.  The best defense is a good antivirus
program and keeping your virus definitions up to date!
