There has been a virus alert posted by McAfee.Com. It is as follows:
******* VIRUS ALERT - W32/Navidad@M ********
Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber:
W32/Navidad@M is an Internet worm that spreads using the
Windows email program Outlook. McAfee AVERT has given it a
risk assessment of MEDIUM-ON WATCH, due to a significant
increase in infection levels worldwide.
The email can come from addresses that you will recognize.
Attached is a file named NAVIDAD.EXE and when it is run, it
displays a dialog box entitled, "Error" which reads "UI". A
blue eye icon then appears in the system tray next to the
clock in the lower right corner of the screen, and a copy of
the worm is saved to the file "winsvrc.vxd" in the WINDOWS
SYSTEM directory.
If your PC becomes infected with the W32/Navidad@M worm, all
subsequent emails addressed to you will be responded to
automatically with an email from your address with the
W32/Navidad@M worm as an attachment.
