VIRUS ALERT

Got this from the IT guys at work

Virus Alert
Once again we ask for your cooperation in helping the AutoNation IT department protect our enterprise from virus attack.   It's the holiday season and we have our usual seasonal camouflage for virus emails.  Remember, if the email is from an unknown source please just delete it. If one machine gets infected the address book on that machine gets infected. The virus will then send itself to everyone in the address book.  Here are some of the following attachments we are beginning to see.
Merry X-Mas!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
