Hi y'all, Just received an email from one of our subscribers which was intended to be sent to all the lists but since it included HTML, I was (I believe) the only one to receive it. I'm sending this to all "my" lists since I cannot tell which lists were intended to receive the message. PLEASE check your PC for a file called "happy99.exe". DO NOT click on it if it shows as an attachment to an email. It is a nuisance virus, a "worm virus", which once activated attaches itself to all outgoing email. I use Eudora and have a separate directory for ALL attachments which I've labeled "Suspect". I found "happy99.exe" in this directory and I deleted it but this means some/all of you received it too. If you clicked on this attachment, you saw a fireworks display which may have appeared to be a "nifty" email graphic. I sincerely hope none of you would ever, ever click on a file attachment with a .EXE file extension but if you did, check your Windows System directory (or your entire PC hard drive(s)) for ska.exe and ska.dll. If those files are present, you have this virus. Do NOT send email until you clean it off your PC. What concerns me is that I have an anti-virus program which is pretty darn good and it did NOT alert me to this file. It's only because I routinely check my "Suspect" directory to weed out those irritating .VCF files that I even saw it. If you have an anti-virus program (like McAfee, Norton, Dr. Solomon's, etc.), please go grab the "innoculation" file for this. If you did NOT click on the attachment graphic and see the fireworks, not to worry. I truly hate to pass this on but it is not a hoax, it is very real and although it will not (as I understand it) harm your PC, you will continue passing it along, IF you activated it, through email. It's one of those replicate, replicate, replicate things which can bring down a network if enough people pass it on. If you need help/directions for checking your PC, please email me privately: [email protected] If I get too many emails, I may bother the lists with a set of instructions. For now, just use Windows Explorer to "Find a file or folder" and put "happy99.exe" in the file name box. Cheers, Victoria
