Anyone who doesnt run antivirus with latest upgrades should check for this worm, as on October 16th there is a 1 in 20 chance it will delete everything on C drive :/

Also if u are running a network it will copy itself around it.

Full infomation and a removal tool can be found at:

sirc32 is a nasty virus yeah, but it doesnt delete everything from your C Drive, it just stops you from running a lot of applications within a Windows OS - quite right though, its very infectious and is a nightmare to deal with

Ta m8, hopes we all got ie5.5 "sp2" as well, cos nimda's still
about and its nasty, esp if u have a network with shares...

ie5.5 Sp2 just stops it downloading through your browser, even
though you didn't allow a download, just part of what makes it
nasty :(

I'll usher your soul across the river stix

Hexy it can do, but only on 16th October, which is Tuesday, and why I felt it necessary to start the thread.

quote:
Large scale e-mailing: The worm appends a random document from the infected PC to itself and sends this new file via email

Deletes files: 1 in 20 chance of deleting all files and directories on C:. Only occurs on systems where the date is October 16 and which are using D/M/Y as the date format. Always occurs if attached file contains "FA2" not followed by "sc".

Degrades performance: 1 in 50 chance of filling all remaining space on the C: drive by adding text to the file c:\recycled\sircam.sys

Releases confidential info: It will export a random document from the hard drive by appending it to the body of the worm



from Symantec website.
