FLASH: WARNING - Happpy99.exe Worm

[John Croteau]

Hi all,


This is a real warning not a hoax.


Apparently there is a new worm that is being sent as an attachment to

Email.

W32/Ska (a.k.a. Happy99.exe)

It shows a nice little fireworks display while it does its dirty work.

This is a worm and not known to be a distructive virus but it can be a

BIG nuisance. It seems to only affect Win 95/98/NT. 

Delete it without running it because if you do run it, it will infect

your computer and continually infect others (by sending it with your

email) until you exterminate it. I haven't seen it and don't want to but

it is spreading quickly.

Don't run any exe attachment to an Email unless it is from a trusted

source.

If not sure either delete it or contact the sender before running it.
