It just came in from my ISP.
The interesting thing is that the list warned me 2 weeks ago on this one.
Thanks folks, it good to be ahead of the game!

A virus known as SirCam is affecting Internet users worldwide. The SirCam

"Nos vemos pronto, gracias."
If your computer becomes infected, the virus will send messages to every
