[pleas for help getting off the list snipped]
RESOTEL INT'L inadvertantly (I'll assume it was unintentional) sent
the happy99.exe virus (actually a worm) to the veggie-list as an
attachment to an email message. Don't open the attachment or execute
the file. Delete the email message it was attached to and empty any
trash folder it may have been sent to. If you have already opened
the file do the follwoing:
Do a file search for the following files...
ska.exe
ska.dll
wsock32.ska
If they are on your system, you have been infected and you will
continue to infect others to whom you send email.
The worm is not sent along with your intended email message but
in a second email message with happy99.exe attached. Anyone who
receives the second message with the happy99.exe attachement and
who executes the attachment will then become infected and spread
the worm through their email messages.
While the worm apparently does no real harm to infected systems,
it is still annoying and you need to rid your computer of the
happy99.exe file and the files it creates and alters. Here is a
URL describing Happy99 and how to remove it from your system.
