WARNING: Happy99.Exe worm in Sudhir Gandotra's mail with subj 
Re: [LI] StarOffice 5.0 customer number & registration key  

Thaths - filter mail with uucp attachments of any kind - especially 
those which begin with begin 644 happy99.exe (it is ~always~ sent 
as an uucp attachment).

Those of you who use windoze boxes to post to this list - just search 
for ska.exe and ska.dll in windows/system and delete them.  Also, 
delete winsock.dll and replace with winsock.ska (or better still, 
delete both and replace with a clean copy of winsock.dll).

Search the registry and delete all references to ska or happy99 if 
any.  Or better still - get the latest version (with most recent 
updates) of any virus scanner (McAfee / Norton Anti Virus / FProt) 
and clean your computer.

Many that live deserve death.  And some that die deserve life.
Can you give it to them? 
Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.
For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
