This message is from: "carl and sarah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> happy 99.exe is a worm that attaches itself to outgoing email messages without the senders' knowledge. i have seen the files that get affected and will look up the fix - it is on the web somewhere. when i find the fix, i will post it here. in the meantime, if you get something with happy 99.exe - don't open it. if you do, you can allow the worm to attach to your files and then you will be sending it out. it looks like a fireworks display. so it you have opened a fireworks display, you may possibly be sending it out with your emails also.
i'll get the instructions out asap.
