2. Dangerous and High Risk -- TROJ_SIRCAM.A
------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROJ_SIRCAM.A has now been upgraded to HIGH RISK as it is spreading rapidly
around the globe for more than a week now. This worm propagates via email using
SMTP commands by sending copies of itself to all addresses listed in an infected
user's address book. It arrives in an email with a random subject line and an
attachment by the same name. It also propagates via shared network drives.
 
Trend Micro has made available, in the Trend Micro Virus Information Center,
tools and instructions to remove TROJ_SIRCAM.A in case of infection. For more
