GEN: Happy99.exe Do not open--> Target: Local Celebrations

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LNM_NET,

The message sent earlier to the group, with the subject: Target: Local
Celebrations, contains the Happy99.exe "worm" (a bit like a virus in that
it can mess up your computer and spreads via your e-mail.)

If you have already been infected, the following may be of assistance to
you. Here is some recent information on this matter from the U.S.
Department of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability website:
   http://www.ciac.org/ciac/cnotes/990202Happy99.html

       Most of the major anti-virus vendors now have updates that will
       allow their software to detect the malicious code.
