Happy99 Worm

Normally a "lurker", I feel I must offer a suggestion to those that might be
infected with the 'Happy99" Virus. The following is a method to remove it
from your system.

If your virus checker doesn't recognize the Happy99 worm, you can also do
the following to remove it manually:

1.delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE
2.delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL
3.replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with
WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA
4.delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE

I hope this helps.
