Do you realize that you are spreading a virus?....i know it was supposed to
do it without the owners knowledge...
If you did look at it ... then follow the instructions below.
++++ How to remove Happy99.exe Virus ++++
You can remove this trojan manually from your computer.
To do that, first check the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder for the presence of these
files.
1. SKA.EXE
2. SKA.DLL
3. WSOCK32.SKA
If you find these files then you have been attacked by the Happy99 Trojan.
To remove this trojan do the following:
1. Delete SKA.EXE, SKA.DLL and WSOCK32.DLL
2. Rename WSOCK32.SKA as WSOCK32.DLL
Make sure that you have WSOCK32.SKA file before deleting WSOCK32.DLL and
ensure that you have renamed this file properly. You may have to close your
Browser, Email software, etc. to delete and rename the DLL files.
(Zookeeper note: If you have Internet Explorer integrated Windows, as I did,
you may have to do it in ms-dos mode.
1. Shut down windows with the RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE option.
2.At the prompt type the bold text.
C:\WINDOWS>cd system
3.Next prompt and command:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>del wsock32.dll
4.And finally:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>ren wsock32.ska wsock32.dll
Then restart your computer.
Open the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\liste.ska in your NOTEPAD to see a list of
who you may have infected with the Happy99 worm virus.)
