I got THREE copies of this thing in my inbox today, so it seems to be
flying around rapidly although it was just discovered a few days ago.
Watch out for it and take the usual precautions -- do not open the
attached file, etc.

Some info from Norton:

Name: W32.Sircam.Worm@mm. (Also Known As: W32/SirCam@mm,
Backdoor.SirCam)

Subject: 

The subject of the email will be random, and will be the same as the
file name of the attachment in the email. 

Message: 

The message body will be semi-random, but will always contain one of the
following two lines (either English or Spanish) as the first and last
sentences of the message.

Spanish Version: First line: Hola como estas ? Last line: Nos vemos
pronto, gracias.

English Version: First line: Hi! How are you? Last line: See you later.
Thanks
