Happy99.worm

[Olaf Schroeter <olaf.schroeter@gmx.de>]

Hello out there,

the virus is a happy99.worm. I qoute from Norton AntiVirus: "It modifies
WSOCK32.dll to send itself as an Attachment when a posting is made to
USENET or MAIL. Delete SKA.EXE and SKA.DLL in WINDOWS/SYSTEM folder and
replace WSOCK32:DLL with WSOCK32.SKA in WINDOWS/SYSTEM folder."

The newest version of Norton Anti Virus found and deleted it.

At http://www.mals.net/happy99.htm there is a "wormcure" to download. I
don't know whether it works, though.

Especially Thomas should look at his system, as I got this charming
creature under his name.

Greetings from Berlin and I hope I haven't done any damage,

Olaf
