I-Worm.SirCam.A Detection & Clean

I-Worm.SirCam.A Detection & Clean is a lightweight utility that was designed in order to wipe the SirCam.A virus from an infected computer.

I-Worm.Sircam.A is an Internet and network worm similar to I-Worm.Magistr.A. The virus spreads through e-mail using its own SMTP routine, sending itself to addresses from the Address Book and from cache or through the shared directories.

It is transmitted through a message with a randomly chosen subject and body, in the form of a combination between the virus infection routine and a file chosen randomly from My Documents.

The original name of the file is kept, but an executable extension is added (.pif, .exe, .lnk).

Users who do not have the option to see attachment extensions activated, will only see the original extension and can be easily fooled.
