KIEV, Ukraine--A Ukrainian Web site said Thursday it had received secret documents from the
                         administration of President Leonid Kuchma as the result of the SirCam worm infecting
                         government computers and e-mailing the files.

                         "The SirCam virus, having infected the computers in the presidential administration, is bombarding
                         our editorial department with their documents," said the ForUm news Web site. 

                         Administration officials declined to say whether their security had been breached but told Reuters
                         they had started an investigation into whether any of their computers were infected with viruses. 

                         ForUm printed one of the documents it said it received: a timetable for Kuchma's movements on the
                         Ukraine's 10th anniversary of independence later this month. Kuchma's exact movements are
                         usually a tightly guarded secret. 

                         The SirCam worm, which first emerged in July, arrives as an e-mail attachment and sends copies of
                         itself to names and addresses in the infected computer's address book.
