Hello, Here is a site that will tell you what files to check to see whether you are infected with happy99 and how to get rid of it if you are. If you opened the happy99.exe attachment and saw fireworks, you will be infected. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/cgi-bin/vsearch.cgi I had it once. I thought the fireworks were wonderful. I even thought about putting them on as a screen saver. :-( I didn't know I'd "caught" it until a person who received Happy99 from me told me. It is sent following a "real" e-mail and is sent at random, so not every one you e-mail will get it. I e-mailed myself to my other computer and the 2nd computer did not "catch" it.
