Hello all,
If you've opened the attachment that came with the mail below, you've been infected with the SIRCAM trojan horse.
I have attached a fix tool from Trend Micro (propriety software - sorry folks but I think this kinda supersedes personal objections to such) to fix it.
Please keep it around in case you get the mail below again (might be in Spanish), and reply with sending this file - I've received this trojan at least ten times already.
Greetz!

Hello Roland, all,
Did you check the attachment?
NOTE: An executable program which was attached to your email
has been automatically removed.
(snip)
In any case, I know you mean well, but DO NOT attach executables to posts
to this mailing list, ever! If you want to alert people, and tell them
about such a fix tool, please point them to a reliable source on the Web
where they can download it.
People should NEVER trust such tools that come in by email.
- Michael

I always wondered about the meaning of life. So I looked it
up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
of life. It was not what I expected. - Dogbert

Very well:
find it here: http://www.antivirus.com (the Trend Micro site)
look for SIRCAM in the search box.
As for trusting tools sent by E-mail: you're right that it's generally not a good idea. (That doesn't mean the file I attached is not trustworthy, though).
Greetz!
Ronald

You are in danger of upsetting a number of people on this mailing list.
The general rule is *never* respond to apparent virus or spam mailings - this
only multiplies the junk we all have to plough through.
(Sorry, I know I'm doing just that right now :-)).
And, in this particular case, if you had bothered to look at the
body of the alleged SIRCAM virus you were warning us about, you would
have spotted that the originator's email system had already stripped
out the virus - so it couldn't possibly have infected anyone.
