You would have to be an idiot to respond to it. Is there anybdy out there who still opens files from an unidentified source? If I didn't fall for it the first time I got it, I probably won't the next 100 times. I'm not kidding, I have deleted that same stupid message at least 100 times. I'm reasonably sure the attachment is a virus. I'm also reasonably sure that I'm not the only one on their sucker list.

It IS a virus. I've recieved multiple warnings, and just recieved the virus today.

Here's the warning my ISP sent:

______________________________

Alert

This is a virus notification from Southwestern Bell/Pacific Bell/Nevada Bell Internet Services. Please read this message carefully.

A virus known as SirCam is affecting Internet users worldwide. The SirCam virus is transmitted through e-mail attachments and will likely come from someone you know. We recommend that you monitor your e-mail for unusual or unexpected messages. As a precaution, delete messages that begin "Hi! How are you?" and end "See you later. Thanks" and contain an attachment. The message also may appear in Spanish, beginning "Hola como estas?" and ending "Nos vemos pronto, gracias."

If your computer becomes infected, the virus will send messages to every e-mail address stored on your computer and attach your personal files to outgoing messages. We strongly recommend that you update your anti-virus software to help protect your computer from this virus.

For a complete description of this virus, please refer to the bulletin available at http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-22.html.
