From our IT dept this am!

To all FNC;
A new mass-mailer worm that offers New Year's greetings and what appears to be a Christmas-related animation, but actually attempts to delete large portions of the Windows operating system began spreading in Europe and parts of the United States Wednesday.
The worm, called "Reezak," appears in the inboxes with the subject line "Hi," and a message that reads "I can't describe my feelings, but all I can say is Happy New Year :-) Bye. An attachment called "Christmas.exe" accompanies the e-mail and appears to be a Macromedia Inc. Flash animation.
If you get this email, as usual, DO NOT OPEN the attachment. If you do, notify ITG Service Center at 2989 immediately. For more information, go to \\itgfile4\antivirus\alerts and open the document called "Christmas Virus.doc"
Thank you,
ITG Anti-Virus Team
