There has been many posts on Lists on the net about the HAPPY99.EXE
attachment.
If it is inadvertantly sent to you, DO NOT OPEN the attachment. See the
info below about the virus.
If infected there are some Windows files that you must delete. The info
below should tell you what to do.

Yesterday I was 'caught' before I realized what I was opening. Someone
on the CRR list inadvertently sent me the virus (this one is called a
"worm" because it doesn't do damage, rather it is annoying).
The HAPPY99 attachment shows you animated graphics of fireworks. If
you've seen this, you're probably infected.

THANKS to Faye Clark, who alerted us I knew immediately I shouldn't have
opened this file and called my husband. After researching it he advised
me not to get back on-line until he cleaned up the computer. (That way
I wouldn't infect others).
