Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukka, everyone....
Hopefully you can avoid this: there is a new worm, named Santa Worm, that comes in attachments that appear to be from a friend. When openend, you will see a Santa, as if a nice card is coming up. In the mean time the worm eats addresses. Same over instant messenging, except there, from what I understand, you cannot see it.
My son informed me that this is a rather powerful, fast moving one.
Sorry to be the barer of ill news, but better to be informed!
Marianne
