Subject: Please Tell Jane We Need Her From: Bjall Date: February 10, 1999 Dear List, Jane is referring to the Happy99 worm that she received from someone as an attachment to an e-amil thanking her for all her hard work. She thought that the person was just attaching a nice card to her. She opened the attachement to this persons e-mail called Happy99, which shows fireworks exploding. She still did not know that she had just infected her computer with this worm Happy99. This worm file attached itself WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE to a few e-mails that she sent out. The Andrea files DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM AT ALL. If you read these files do not worry- you are OK. She received this worm file later. She had NO KNOWLEDGE of this problem with her e-mails and did not even know of the problem until much later. The only way you would have the worm Happy99 is if you downloaded an attachment called Happy99 and saw fireworks. I am told that this worm does not destroy any data, it only copies itself to e-mails that you send out- all without your knowledge. It is easy to destroy with the instructions posted earlier to this forum. Jane is an innocent victim who did a lot of hard work for us and deserves our thanks and support. We need more people like her!! Please send her a personal e-mail at [email protected] and ask her to resubscribe and thank her for all the hard work. Thanks for you time. Bev.
