Symantec has a clean and repair utility available for download free from
their site for this. It may or may not work depending on the randomness of
the damage the virus does. It worked for us on the single 98 machine that
was infected before we got the correct pattern files last week.

Subject: [WinMac] SirCam virus
We got caught by the SirCam virus yesterday, before we got the right .dat
file loaded on some of our NT workstations (and 1 95 box). The results were
that no executable will run. Does anybody know of a repair procedure, other
than a format and restore that will work on these machines? Mcafee will
detect it but is unable to clean it. We deleted the files but the machines
are still quite useless at the present time. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.
