Default Virus Alert!

Moderators this is an issue that should recieve Attention.

I know this is not S2000 talk but I have recieved this message in my personal and business e-mail. My business and personal e-mail are completely seperate!
I hope it has not been sent to other members of S2000 International. I am working on tracking the source and person (or persons) involved. However here is what I have recieved.
Luckily my Anti-Virus caught it Just in time

From: "Wen-Lin Wu" <wenlin311@hotmail.com>
Virus W32.Sircam.Worm@mm found.

They say it is a fax cover and should be looked at (just to get your opinion)

I also looked into this virus and it is one that deletes files, crashes a computer, and causes havoc.

I hope we have not been invaded.

Regards,
David McCune Jr.

Remember in this day an age Anti-Virus sofware saves may computers

I've had at least 5 emails sent to me containing this worm.

Of course I haven't opened any but I'm sure getting sick of it.
