On December 24. several PCs here in Iceland refused to run any programs,
displaying the message "Gledileg Jol" instead. On Dec. 25th everything was
back to normal.

This seems to be a new .EXE infecting virus of Icelandic origin, possibly a
variant of the Icelandic-1 virus.

A full description will be posted as soon as I receive a sample.
