Another day, another exploit of a Microsoft product. Sigh.

Today’s installment brings us the SirCam virus, which emails itself to everyone in your address book (multiple times!) and overwrites critical system files.

This doesn’t concern me particularly, but I want to mention a great anti-virus product that works at the server level. If you run a UNIX mail server, consider installing AMaViS to have all inbound mail scanned for virii prior to delivery.

This is a remarkable product. I’ve seen it in action; today it corralled over a dozen copies of SirCam on a busy corporate server.
