Re: Fw: happy99.exe

[Bill Moore <bmoore@redfish.fsr.com>]

John,

The vision2020 listserver does not have the
happy99.exe worm associated with it.  The
listserver is just a mail filter that forwards
mail from one person to many.  The worm came in
piggy-backed on a subscriber's post yesterday and 
was passed on to all the subscribers.

Anyone who opened the .exe file then would then
become 'infected' and pass the worm to others
in subsequent mail messages.  Several persons
today have (again) passed it through to the
list, indicating that their computers are
affected.  The best thing anyone can do is to
have current antivirus protection running on
their computer.

Thanks for your interest,
