Hello Leif Gregory,
On Friday, December 03, 1999, 17:55:43 (GMT +07:00) you told us:

Sorry Leif, I have other opinion.
AFAIK Happy99.exe is a Trojan Virus (Hoax ?), which infected to
mailer with MAPI capable such Outlook97/98/2000, Outlook Express 4/5,
Exchange Client. Luckyly The Bat! not MAPI capable, yet; in the next
version if The Bat! have MAPI capability, we also must aware with this
kind of viruses (Mike not use The Bat! at the first time sending msg
with Happy99.exe)
Trojan or hoax viruses can't be detected by "common anti virus" such
McAfee or NAV, just like "macro viruses" it's need special treatment.
There are a lot of Happy99.exe anti virus removement at
www.winfiles.com

Take a look Symantec homepage, perhaps there is a clue how to detect
Trojan/Hoax Viruses such Happy99, Melissa, Worm, ExplorerZip etc.
