Title
=====
Malicious Software Report - W32/Navidad.e@M; W32/Navidad.E1-m
UNIRAS Comment
==============
MessageLabs is reporting significant numbers of a new Navidad variant being
stopped
by their systems. The file is believed to have an inactive remnant of the
W32/Magistr@MM virus then compressed using PEC 2.6. It is understood that
the
infected files are being received by MessageLabs from only a small number of
sources.
UNIRAS is advised by suppliers that uptodate antivirus software should
prevent
infection and detect the variant as either Magistr or Navidad.
However, System Administrators are advised to confirm that their antivirus
software is
uptodate and able to stop this particular variant.
Additonal information will be supplied when available.
