ANYONE WHO GOT THIS E-MAIL, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT.  

If you do not have virus protection or your virus program does not pick
this up, the Happ99.exe file is a virus-infected file.  Do not open or
double-click on the file, just delete it from your computer and empty the
recycle bin if you need to.  

Don't automatically assume that the person you got the file knowingly
infected you either.  This program, once opened, changes the configuration
of your Winsock file and then attaches itself to any e-mails which the
sender sends out.

Sorry if I'm providing duplicate info that some of you may already know,
but for anyone who doesn't, I just wanted to warn them (My full-time job is
as a computer techy :-}   Gardening is just my full-time hobby!!!)

Deleting the attachment (if you haven't run it yet) will take care of the
problem.  If you have run or double-clicked on the attachment (you probably
saw a fireworks display if you did this) need to scan and clean your pc or
manually remove the traces of this program to keep it from sending itself
out to others in your address book.  See the following link for more info:
