Serious Santa is a 2D Christmas shoot-em-up - Time Waster

You don't want to mess with Serious Santa. When evil goblins break into Santa's workshop and kidnap his elves, Santa breaks out the big guns and goes to war.

Santa worm is coming to town

A worm dubbed IM.GiftCom.All or just "Santa" is making the rounds on all three major IM networks, AIM, MSN, and Yahoo!. The Santa worm sends potential victims a link to a file which displays an image of Santa Claus while installing a rootkit in the background, which in turn uses the victim's buddy lists to spread. IM security firm IMlogic has rated the worm a "medium" threat, ...
