Those of you curious enough to have executed that attached exe to one of the
posts now have the Happy99 worm program on their systems. This is not a
virus (it is a worm program) and it's relatively new so your current virus
software may not be able to detect it. Here is how to get rid of it:
-delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE
-delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL
-replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA
(You'll probably have to boot into DOS to do this as Winsock is probably
loaded)
-delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE
