Thanks, Ann. After scanning thru McAfee and Microsoft and Symantec and Virus Encyclopedia ad infinitum, I now know more about this Melissa-type virus "Killer-Resume" than I really needed to know, but sure am glad I do. Fortunately for my computer but unfortunately for lots of folks who constantly use attachments, I made it a practice when the Happy.exe worm was crawling around to never, ever open attachments unless I check out where it actually came from. So far, it's worked fine for me. Better safe than sorry, right? Thanks again.
