    3. I posted queries to Wyoming and Logan mail list last night. Today I found that I may have been sending a virus. This virus is actually a worm. If you received a file from me or any one called Happy99.exe, and you open it, it will attatch to your e-mail files, and when you send out a message it will attatch to your message. I am truly sorry if I have caused any problems for anyone. I was not aware of this until this morning. Apparently it is not detectable by virus scans. This has been removed from my computer. If I am still sending it please let me know. Pam Instructions : 1. Print out these instructions. 2. Click Start -> then Shut Down -> choose the 'Restart Computer in MS-DOS mode' option. 3. At the DOS prompt, typethe commands below that are in CAPS exactly, and press the ENTER key at the end of each line: 4. CD \WINDOWS\SYSTEM 5. DEL SKA.EXE (Note: If you get a File Not Found error, either you are not infected, or this file is located somewhere else on your computer.) 6. DEL SKA.DLL 7. COPY WSOCK32.SKA WSOCK32.DLL 8. Answer 'Yes' if it asks if you want to overwrite WSOCK32.DLL. Explination: WSOCK32.SKA is a backup of the original WSOCK32.DLL made by the virus. You are replacing the modified DLL with the original. 9. Return to Windows by typing EXIT If, upon rebooting, Windows displays an error message that it cannot find SKA.EXE, continue with the steps below. Note: Using the Registry Editor. 1. Click Start -> Run. Then type regedit and click OK. 2. Click at the + to the left of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 3. Click at the + to the left of Software 4. Click at the + to the left of Microsoft. 5. Click at the + to the left of Windows 6. Click at the + to the left of CurrentVersion 7. Look under the following folders. -Run -RunOnce -RunOnceEx -RunServices -RunServicesOnce Check for SKA.EXE and select it if it is there. Hit the Delete key. 8. Close Regedit. There is a file that keeps track of anyone you may have inadvertently sent that file to. It is called : LISTE.SKA and you can find it under C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LISTE.SKA Looking for Allen, Blankenship, Goodman, Hatfield, Kennedy, and Toler Visit my page: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/woods/3164/
