If you get an email with the topic AHINFO with a zip attachment and the  message says something to the effect of <I send this file to you please, check it out for me> dont open it.
 
 Got a warning from a former squadie-

According to Norton Antivirus 2001, the virus was "W32.Sircam.Worm@mm" in
both messages. For information about this virus, check this page from
McAfee:
 http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/viruses/sircam/default.asp?cid=2360


 I got 2 seperate emails containing the same message header and attachment, as did at least 3 other squadies.
