W32.Navidad is a mass-mailing worm program or virus, discovered in December 2000. It is designed to spread through email clients such as Microsoft Outlook[1] while masquerading as an electronic Christmas card.[2] Infected computers can be identified by blue eye icons which appear in the Windows system tray.[2] Users who move their mouse cursor over the eye icons will be presented with a variety of different messages, including one which states: "Emmanuel-God is with us!May god bless u.And Ash, Lk, and LJ!!"[2]
