Bad news, everyone,
This message came to me with the happy99.exe worm (a kind of
virus, as I understand it) attached. Please be careful. I
think this particular bug is supposed to be more of a
nuisance than an atom bomb, but you should all check it
out.
I talked to a technical person who says
1) delete without opening the file happy99.exe.
2) search your computer for a file named wsock32.ska and for
one named ska.dll Both are evidence that you've been
infected.
Short of that, all I can say is good luck.
a long time lurker,
Joe Kraus
