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. "
"the
worm's nasty little game of chance next Tuesday, when SirCam will
begin deliberately selecting victims for mass file deletion from
among all infected computers' whose "Date/Time" system
settings use the "Day/Month/Year" format. It
will not activate on computers that use the "Month/Day/Year"
format."
