Yeah, there's a new one going around, first seen "in the wild" about five days
ago (July 17th!). It's called "W32/SirCam@MM" -- it's a mass-mailer virus. It
comes as an attachment to an e-mail message, and is harmless IF YOU DON'T RUN
IT. Just delete it, and then empty your Recycle Bin (if you're using Windows).
It's Windows-specific. I've already received a couple of these from people I
don't know. Unfortunately, they're probably unaware that they sent it to me --
so I contacted them and let them know.
For more info on the "W32/SirCam@MM" see the following URL:

Keep your 'puter clean, folks.
