Removing the HAPPY.EXE e-mail worm.
First, get to a DOS prompt. In Windows 95/98, click on your
"Start" button, choose "Programs"
and under "Programs" click on "MS-DOS Prompt".
The DOS prompt will look something like this: C:\WINDOWS>
Once you see the DOS prompt, type cd c:\windows\system and
press the "ENTER" or
"RETURN" key.
The prompt will change.
Then, type attrib -h wsock32.dll and press the "ENTER" or
"RETURN" key.
Then, type attrib -r wsock32.dll and press the "ENTER" or
"RETURN" key.
These two commands change the file attributes belonging to the
file wsock32.dll.
Then, type copy wsock32.ska wsock32.dll and press the "ENTER"
or "RETURN" key.
This command copies the file "wsock32.ska" to a new file called
wsock32.dll.
Then, type del ska.dll and press the "ENTER" or "RETURN" key.
Then, type del ska.exe and press the "ENTER" or "RETURN" key.
These last two commands remove the virus's files from your
computer.
Another way to remove this worm is by using an anti-virus
program such as F-PROT, Norton AntiVirus, or
McAfee VirusScan. Download the latest version of F-PROT at

If you currently have a different anti-virus program running on
your system, you should check its virus list to
make sure your program protects against this virus. If it does
not, you may wish to visit the website of your
program's manufacturer and see if they have an upgrade
available. This virus is know by the following names:
W32

Happy99.exe
