    2. Sorry..just another update on keeping the listers clean and running...good luck Kathy CNET | VIRUS & SECURITY NEWSLETTER Holiday-themed worm deletes Windows files December 19, 2001 Vol. 1, No. 3 Just in time for the holidays, w32.Reeezak.a@mm arrives as an e-mail with "Happy New Year" as the subject line, then attempts to delete your Windows System subdirectory, redirect your Internet Explorer to a political Web site, and disable popular antivirus software. Another new worm, W32.Gokar.a@mm, also disables antivirus software (without deleting Windows files). Obviously, you're best off avoiding infection in the first place, so in this issue, I've included my basic steps to protect your PC. Also, to get some perspective on how these recent worms have affected businesses and users across the Internet, I've included a link to News.com stories covering Goner, BadTrans.B, and other recent viral attacks. With a little patience and persistance, you too can have a computer virus-free holiday season. http://www.cnet.com/software/0-7760531-8-8224240-1.html
