    (i hope you're using norton antivirus). Go to symantec.com and download the latest patch, this virus started to spread out last week. If you don't have norton yet, you can download it for 30 days trial.

    Navidad is a trojan (not a virus). Don't open your email program (which of course is Outlook, right? hehe). Any emails anyone sends to you now will have a copy of Navidad sent to them. You probably have a little blue eye in your status bar near your system clock. That's the trojan.

    Here's a link on how to manually remove the trojan :

    Also get a copy of an up-to-date antivirus package that scans emails as they come in. Hopefully the antivirus vendors have gotten on the ball and provided a way to remove the trojan. I use Norton, McAfee, Ontrack (weak, but it came with a utility program), and AVP (AVP's among the best).

    You guys need to quit clicking on executables in emails without knowing what they are. [​IMG]
