Hi List,
According to my sources, this baby is a dream for hackers and far from
innocuous as it may first appear:
Happy 99 showed up right about New Year's time. When you
clicked on the attachment, you got a cute little fireworks show on your
screen. The virus embeds itself on your hard drive and moves itself about
at will. Hackers with the Happy 99 hackerware can access, change, delete
all your files including passwords and encrypted account numbers. As long
as you don't open the file, you're okay....
Cheers,
Julia
