It seems the "SirCam" virus has infected several TurboBuick.com members. Once you get it through e-mail only, it basically sends itself (again by e-mail) to everyone in your address book. Since TB.com members tend to e-mail each other, we seems to be spreading it among ourselves.
Read the thread linked above to find out more, but basically e-mails themselves don't spread viruses, it's the attachments that come along with them.
Don't open any attachements unless you are 100% certain they are safe. The subject line is always different.
Keep your address book small, so if you ever get infected, it won't spread as much.
FYI, I have received about 15 of these SirCam e-mails, but I never opened the attachment.

Hey thanks Rich,
I also got that virus with the attachment. Came from a fella named Burke? I e-mailed him about it and his response was that a virus attached itself somehow to his address book. I personally don't know this guy, but he was sincere enough to e-mail me back to zap it.
I wasted this creepy crawler. Unfortunatley though, whoever is in my address book is probably going to get a visitor. So be forewarned guys......anyone who has recieved an e-mail response from me waste any and all suspicious looking attachments!!!

Maybe this is pertinent, had to send it out to our client here (work for I/T department). Gave me a ton of headaches here.
Please be advised that the W32/SirCam@MM Virus has been elevated to a "High Risk" level.
This virus attempts to send itself and local attached documents to all addresses found in the Windows Address Book and e-mail addresses found in temporary Internet cached files (web browser cache).
The W32/SirCam@MM Virus is transmitted by opening the attachments within an e-mail message containing the following information:
Subject: [filename (random)]
Body: Hi! How are you?
I send you this file in order to have your advice
or I hope you can help me with this file that I send
or I hope you like the file that I send you
or This is the file with the information that you ask for
See you later. Thanks
