Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 The thing to remember about this one is that you can only get it if you receive and email with an attachment called Happy99.exe. If you get that attachment do not open it. Just delete it and you will be OK. So if you haven't ever received this attachment, then you can't be infected. But like the message says below, it is a fairly harmless one as far as viruses go, and easily gotten rid of.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2000 Report Share Posted January 19, 2000 Hi Andy, I thought the same thing about not opening it, etc. etc. I didn't open it and thought I was safe until several of my friends started emailing me that I was infected with it and all my emails to them had it attached. Don't know how it got past my Norton, but nothing is fail safe nowadays. I didn't mean to scare anyone, but I did receive it from onelist, not green vibrations though, but thought it safe to tell everyone. Hope that I don't get unsubed here because I sent it. I did get unsubbed from the list that sent me the virus though (LOL). They didn't believe me and flammed me big time. Hugs, Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
