Hi,
My guess is that it contains the W32.Sircam.Worm@mm worm
(http:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
I've known of *MANY* (many possibly meaning a lot) mails containing it these last few

The subject is the name of the infected attachment and the body contains three lines.
To find out more about it, just go to the URL above.
