Everyone, this is a forward of a forwarded message I recieved about the
Happy99.exe virus. (I emailed the Bradford list about this earlier
today) and this will be the last message about it. For those of you who
don't know about this virus, it is sent to other people through email
attachments. As long as you don't open the file, it does no harm, but
if you do open it, here are instructions to clean up after it (you may
want to save this for future reference):

> It does not do damage to your computer and can be easily deleted. It is a
> "worm" virus that spreads itself, attaching to my e-mails after I became
> infected.
>
> You can go to the url listed below and get instructions to remove the
> virus.

>
> You have to go into the hard drive
>
> c:\windows\system
>
> find and delete
>
> ska.exe
> ska.dll
> wsock32.dll
>
> then find
>
> wsock32.ska and rename it as wsock32.dll
>
> You will probably have to exit all Internet applications such as Internet
> Explorer, your mail software, etc.
>
> To find out who you sent the virus onto, if you are infected is to find
> the file "liste.ska" in the windows/system directory and open it with
> notepad. Then you might forward this e-mail to them.
>
> This does no damage just is a nuisance.
