Because we all love reading about viri, here is a lovely article from
the people at WIRED to get you involved in your computer maintenance.

'I send you this article in order to give you advice: SirCam, the
annoying e-mail worm that simply won't go away, will turn feral Oct. 16.
 According to analysis of SirCam's code, every year on Oct. 16 the worm
will delete all the files and folders  contained on the hard drives of
randomly selected SirCam-infected computers.  Those who have clicked on
a file attached to an e-mail that reads, in part, "I send you this file
in order to have your advice," have a few days to make sure the worm is
not lurking in their computers.'
