Family... Please let's don't tear our list up. Le'ts read below and follow thru on this. No where do we have a Courtesy Rule to fit the description of the e-mails flying around right now. Please don't send anymore comments to the list. Let's get back to genealogy :) I thank you and love you all... Ellie This is our simple and easy rules or styles of posts that will assist us all in getting what we want out of the COOK list: I can't stress enough the importance of the team work it's going to take to make this system work.

Whoa, First it would be nice to contact this person and see if they actually know they have the virus. I too got hit by the Happy99 it came to me from a piece of bounced mail from one of the three list (COOK,BIRD or NYSTEUBE). I didn't open the file but it still did some damage, I lost my inbox on my Netscape server and lost my total AOL program. What i suggest you do is write the list you received it off of and let the members know that if anyone has opened a file called Happy99 that shows a firework display that they have the worm. Even if they are not sure they have if, they should assume they do if they opened this firework file and should NOT send any futher mail till they get rid of the worm from their computer. If any thinks they have this worm here's how to remove it; Removing the worm manually: 1.delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE 2.delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL 3.replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA 4.delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE This is just one reminder that we sould NEVER download anything from anyone we don't know. Of course I know several person that received it from friends that didn't know they were sending it. The best thing is that you get a virus protection program and keep it up todate.

Rootsweb will not send attachments through the list, but Rootsweb isn't the only source of lists. Nel

I am not the list owner but i do maintain to rootsweb list and i do not belive it could come through via the mailing list since you can not send attachments through any Rootsweb mailing list Evelyn Martha Veselka wrote: > > Perhaps our list owner could contact someone at Rootsweb and find out if > this nasty little wiggly thing could come thru on their line.

Perhaps our list owner could contact someone at Rootsweb and find out if this nasty little wiggly thing could come thru on their line. It apparently is doing damage, emotionally as well as technically.

Lisa...In a perfect world, that's way it would be. I don't have cash to repair holes in my sneakers, let alone repair my puter. Got it 5 years ago, only 8MG of RaM AND yeAH! I take this personally! I dont' have access to virus protectors! I don't have cash to research properly my ancestors. You think I wanna waste what cash I have on people who wanna trash my puter? I'm annoyed and rightly so! If I had cash I'd send for birth certificates, not virus protector programs for people who think trashing other peoples puters is a "recreation"!

As long as we're on this subject, let me ask a question. Since this virus is kind enough (?) to make a backup copy of the WSOCK32.DLL file, what would happen if you: (1) verified your machine was "clean" (no SKA.EXE, SKA.DLL, or WSOCK32.SKA files and the registry is OK) (2) made your own backup file by copying WSOCK32.DLL to WSOCK32.SKA? When the virus makes its backup copy, isn't it going to try to copy WSOCK32.DLL to WSOCK32.SKA? Since the WSOCK32.SKA already exists, wouldn't there be a message asking if you wanted to overwrite it? If this message ever suddenly popped up, you could pretty well figure the virus was loose, and could you not shut down right then and take remedial action without the virus ever getting loose? Maybe the virus is "smarter" than we think. I'll be anxious to hear comments on this. RGDS:EARL : 1.delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE 2.delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL 3.replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA 4.delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE This is just one reminder that we sould NEVER download anything from anyone we don't know. Of course I know several person that received it from friends that didn't know they were sending it. The best thing is that you get a virus protection program and keep it up todate.

Sorry to be an old fuddy-duddy, but it seems like these lists get on some subject off topic, such as the HAPPY99 worm, and it goes on and on and on and on. I think we have all been properly notified, and it has been discussed ad nauseum. Thank you for letting me waste your time. James

Hi All, It is my understanding that the various virus scan software will not detect the Happy99.exe "virus" because it is not a true virus, but is a "worm". For more info on Happy99.exe and how to rid your system of it, should you find yourself infected, go to http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/3652/SKA.HTM Cheers, Nel
