Actually, I think I got infected by it on my Windows 2000 machine at home. Here's some interesting stuff I found out:
It's name matches that as described on Car & Truck's website. mine has the name SirC32.exe
I noticed something was up when I came home from school one day and noticed that ALL of my 512 MB of RAM were used up. I ended up with a warning message saying my Virtual Memory was kicking in and would override system settings to keep my computer stable. Well, that's unacceptable. Period.
So I opened up Task Manager and found that program (SirC32.exe) running in the in background and the little biatch had a memory size of my entire RAM set plus the VMM. So I killed it (ended the process) and my RAM returned and everything works normally.
Also, I haven't receieved any emails from people saying I've been sending infected emails containing the virri. So I assume once I ended the program it could no longer funciton and send itself out.
In short...if you have Windows 2000 on your computer and you think you've been infected, open up Task Manager (Ctl-Alt-Del) and look in the Processes tab for a program named something with "SirC32" or something like that. You'll also notice it contains the largest memory size of any program in the list.
As for my situation, I'll wait and see when they come out with a fix for it. Until that time I just kill the program everytime I start up my computer.
Just my input for those of you not in the position to reformat your machines and are running W2k.
