This is a new virus that contacts msn,yahoo mail,yahoo e mail, yahoo messenger,AOL etc. Beware, viruses are nothing new tothe internate world, but these days it's hard to pin point where itt came from, Virus will delete your personal folders and get your personal mail and get your personal pion numbers from banks or what ever. It's called Santa Worm don't open it. More info [url]www.yahoonews.com

never open any attachments, unless it is something that you are expecting, from someone you know. Be careful and keep your antivirus up-to-date.

as you mention this, it reminds me that beginning January 6, 2006, the Sober virus will most likely launch another wave of e-mail attacks on the Internet, guaranteed to slow down email severs and infected machines considerably.

Thanks to diligence of Mikko Hypponen and his antivirus research staff at F-Secure (http://dw.com.com/redir?oid=4520-3513_7-6405253-1&ontid=3513&siteid=7&edid=3&lop=txt&destcat=&destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ef%2Dsecure%2Ecom%2Fweblog%2F%2300000729), we know that within an encrypted part of the latest Sober worm is a complex set of instructions detailing several dates on which Sober is likely to make another attack; and thanks to another set of researchers at iDefense (http://www.idefense.com/news/), we think January 5 or 6, 2006, either a Thursday or a Friday--just in time to fill everyone's e-mailbox with junk over the weekend--is the most likely of those dates for that attack to occur.
