You have the Happy99 virus goto: [link lost in import] or [link lost in import] and download a free virus checker to clean it up. Do not open the happy99.exe file when receiving it in the mail just delete the message and inform the sender they have the virus. If you run the happy99.exe file you will get re-infected.

> can anyone tell me what the deal is with this happy99.exe bullshit > every time I send a message on this NG. Happy99.exe is a VIRUS!! If I remember right, (someone please correct me) all that this does is when ever you send a message to one person or one place, everyone in your address book gets that same message. Another words, don't send a hot and heavy email to your girl friend because your wife will get the same email. You can go to the Micro soft web site on known virus's and get the details. I do know it's very easy to get rid of and to protect your self from getting it again. mike -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= Racing online with the help of......

Heres a quote from someone who knows how to deal with Happy ------------------- Happy99.exe strikes again... Here's the fix.. Delete the SKA.EXE and SKA.DLL files in the Windows\System folder. Delete/Replace the WSOCK32.DLL in the Windows\System folder with the WSOCK32.SKA file in the Windows\System folder.(rename the wsock32.ska file to wsock32.dll) and NEVER execute a EXE file from mail unless you know for sure what it is!!! --------------- David can anyone tell me what the deal is with this happy99.exe bullshit every time I send a message on this NG.
