RE: off list virus question

["Hackett, David" dhackett@xxxxxxxx]

This virus is spreading like wildfire right now. It is known as the
"W32.Sircam.Worm@mm" and information is available about it on the Symantec
and TrendMicro websites. The latter site gives instructions on how to fix it
and/or prevent it from damaging files on your hard disk. Here is the address
of their page:

This is one to take seriously.

Subject: off list virus question

to all the virus fanatics out there, may I ask one question?

Lately I have received several messages which say:

"Hi! How are you=3F

I send you this file in order to have your advice"

and contain some sort of binary. Is this a commonly
known virus, or hoax? I have tried to research it with
no luck so far.
