Can you give the exact filename of the virus that is attached? Thanks!

I also received 2 of these mails today, they appeared to have been sent by Dangeruss, and were named pseudo_ez and TechAmp. I was immediately suspicious, as Russ and I haven't exactly been on speaking terms since the "Skinz" days, and I doubted he would ask my advice on anything!
Let me stress that these e-mails are NOT from dangeruss, just made to LOOK like they are.
Needless to say, I didn't open the attachments, I just deleted them, as you should do if you receive one. There is obviously someone who is bent on harming the skinning community, as can be witnessed by the recent attack on LotsOfSkins.com,
Where someone abused the delete function and removed many skins.
BE ON YOUR GUARD!!

There is a post from Russ on Devart concerning this:

Oops - my apologies. He also posted here - guess I should have checked here first...

Could someone please forward me one of the emails if they get it. Wanting to test our AntiVirus at our company against it. themurkworks@yahoo.com.!

Usualy i think the Delete Button is made to Delete emails that have attachements from people you dont know . But thats just me , oh well

2 of them was actually really good friends of mine

I received the same e-mail on 7/18/01. Norton Antivirus didn't flag it coming through my email program. I just deleted it, like any unsolicited attachments.

I received one of these msgs, as well...though I didn't recognize the sender the attachment was a .pif file pretending to be a .zip

Yeah, I got 4 of them as well, didn't recognize the sender though.

It's not just happening to you guyz in the skinning community. I got the same messages, and I have a website about Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA. My sender was 'Tony'. I just deleted them. Just to warn, its an all-around virus.

I thought I had escaped this one but then, yesterday I got mailed a different virus/worm combo that comes in two consectutive emails. It's the W95MTXdr virus and came from someone in Argentina who had asked me about where to send winamp skins.

And then today I started getting the W32sircam virus that this thread is about. The sender is unknown to me and the subject line is "Capital Gain 99". In both cases my virus scanner did not catch it.

I don't believe I've been infected but I'm still trying to determine that for sure. What a waste of time!

Hi, I received one today... Sender unknown with a different attachment-name again...

eek, yeh i get alot of mails from the "Worms Community" (hehe, nothing to do with bad .worms! i'm referring to a game), anyhow people send me their maps and whatever and i evaluate them all and have to check .zips and stuff for details - Anyway, i got 5 of these damn emails, 1 from a person i know and the other 4 from some-one i didn't ... ah well just adding my little bit here btw.

I searched google.com for any information about this as soon as i got the email virus's/atachments, but there wasn't any info to be found... =/

Maybe you guys will keep us posted?

www.theregister.com has good info..... it's an extremely virulent virus and is causing major havoc.... it's even made national news in the UK
