"Daniel Sharp". I recieved this message

"Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks"

and scanned the file, getting this:

"Scan Result
Name of File: bmw1
Type of File: application/mixed
Scan Result: Virus W32.Sircam.Worm@mm found. File NOT cleaned.
This file contains a computer worm, a program that spreads very quickly over the Internet to many computers and can delete files, steal sensitive information, or render your machine unusable.

This attachment has a virus that may infect your computer. It cannot be cleaned.
We recommend that you DO NOT download this attachment."

I figure since it was BMW related, they got the email address from this board, so WATCH OUT.

We will now resume currently scheduled programming. This has been a public service announcement, brought to you by the letter E and the numbers 3 and 4. :)
