Hi all,

        I have seen a number of incoming posts, where another post is received
right after, with the Happy99 virus attached.  This indicates that this virus
is pretty wide spread.

http://www.delta4-dot-net/other/happy99.html

has info on the virus as do many sites, but if you have executed a file called
"Happy99.exe" that displays a fireworks display, you have it the virus.  If you
send an E-mail to yourself and get another E-mail with Happy99.exe attached you
have it.

The Tesla list NEVER forwards file attachments.  Normally they are detected,
reported, and stripped from posts.  However, if you ever do see an attachment
on the Tesla list DELETE IT!  It is always possible that some virus may make
it's way through some day so beware!

Cheers, :-)

        Terry
