This is getting pretty tiresome.    A new warning from Sierra Club.

A new e-mail virus named W32.Sircam.Worm@mm is spreading over the Internet.
This virus primarily targets e-mail addresses stored in your Internet
Explorer cache.  This means that you will most likely receive this virus if
your e-mail address is listed on any web pages (on Sierra Club web servers
or anyplace else).

The virus only executes if you open the attachment.  The subject and
attachment name for this virus changes all the time, but there are some
characteristics in common with all of these messages listed below.  Please
delete any suspicious messages and never open attachments that you are not
expecting.

From Symantec AntiVirus Center:

   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

   Between these two sentences, some of the following text may appear:

   Spanish Version:
   Te mando este archivo para que me des tu punto de vista
   Espero me puedas ayudar con el archivo que te mando
   Espero te guste este archivo que te mando
   Este es el archivo con la informacion que me pediste

   English Version:
   I send you this file in order to have your advice
   I hope you can help me with this file that I send
   I hope you like the file that I send you
   This is the file with the information that you ask for


This is a new virus, so Field and Chapter staff must update your virus
definitions now to protect yourselves from this virus.  If you do not know
how to update your virus definitions, please contact Larry Ziler
([log in to unmask]) in the DC Office for assistance.

Full details about this virus and how to remove it can be found at

Your cooperation and vigilance are very much appreciated.
