The latest (and highly annoying) virus is called SirCam. You can read
about it at: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,45427,00.html
Among other things, it will take random documents (.doc, .zip, .jpg) from
your "My Documents" folder and mail them to random addresses in your
addressbook.
Get good anti-virus software and update it regularly, folks. It's well
worth the money. And, if you can, stop using Outlook Express or Outlook
for email - switch to Eudora or some other more secure email software.
