An article appearing in The Register today 
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/56/20789.html) reports that the
signature of the SirCam virus may be changing, and that could allow it
to go undetected by the current virus checkers.  Anyone using Windows
and relying only on a virus checker should be aware of the potential
problems this may cause.  Fortunately, the various PMMail filtering
techniques discussed here recently should still be able to catch the
infected messages despite the changes.
