Sorry for this off subject warning, but I have had the happy99.exe worm,
and have received it about 6 times today.

If you receive an attachment that is called happy99.exe, DO NOT open it. It
is a worm. It will do no harm, but is an annoyance. Delete it right away
and you won't be infected.

If you are infected please contact the url listed below. It will help you
get rid of it, or contact me, I have been through it.

Again it is not dangerous. It is going around and around and around, so I
think it bears mentioning. I know we usually don't do this, but this is a
real infection. I have gotten it so many times, that I am making an
exception to the rule. It took me a whole day to finally get it out of my
heard drive. Again, don't open the happy99.exe or the happy993.exe file, or
any other exe file that comes to you as an attachment. Just delete it and
it will go away.

Thanks for your patience.

Ann

This is the best site that I found, and it helped me to get rid of it where
most of the sites put up by virus scanning companies did not.
