Since almost all the lists have had on-going discussion about the Happy 99
worm here's a spot that you can use to download a utility that will take
care of the problem.

Subject: Utility to Automatically Remove Happy99.exe (FREE)
Date: Wednesday, March 10, 1999 5:22 AM
This is a very nice utility, in that it not only AUTOMATICALLY removes
all
the files that Happy99.exe installs and puts the system back the way
it
was before being corrupted, it lets the unfortunate user view all the
his/her emails to which the danged file was attached and sent on.

There's a pesky little virus going around the Net these days called
Happy99.exe. It doesn't damage your system or corrupt any data, but it
can spread like wildfire if unchecked because it attaches itself to every
email you send and every newsgroup message you post. Happy99Cleaner
won't
protect you from the virus, but it can get rid of it if you've
been
infected. After you clean out your system, you can check the LISTE.SKA
file to see a list of email addresses you have sent the virus to and
start
writing those apologies. Get ready to be happy:
