virus warning from Van Rompu - is a virus HOAX
It's a virus hoax and an old one.
Before forwarding on any "virus warning," check out
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html,
the anti-virus research center 'virus hoaxes' page.
Here's what it has to say about 'Win a Holiday':
Win a Holiday is not a virus. It is a hoax. The "virus" does
not exist. There is currently no virus that has the
characteristics ascribed to "Win a Holiday." It is a sham,
meant only to panic new or inexperienced computer users. In
addition, it is a mild variant of the "Join the Crew" hoax
