<p>This virus is attached to newsgroup and e-mail messages as an
attachment called Happy99.exe. <b>You cannot get infected with
this virus just by reading a newsgroup or e-mail message. You
have to execute the attachment. Almost always, the person who
sent it does not know that they are sending it out. It does not
show up in their Outbox.</b> If you didn't execute the
attachment, you can just delete it and move on. <b>You should
never open an EXE, COM, SHS, BAT, VBS file or MS Office document
unless you know the source and its purpose and even then, check
it with an up-to-date antivirus program.</b> If you execute an
infected attachment, it will display a firework display which
looks like this:</p>

    <tr>
        <td width="100%">If you aren't sure whether you are
        infected,<p>Choose &quot;Start&quot;, then
        &quot;Find&quot;, then &quot;Files or Folders&quot;.</p>
        <p>Then type WSOCK32.DLL in the &quot;Named&quot; box.</p>
        <p>Then type &quot;ska.dll&quot; (without the quotes) in
        &quot;Containing Text&quot; Box.</p>
        <p>Leave the &quot;Look in&quot; box as C: (or whatever

</center></div>

<p align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4" face="Arial"><strong>WHAT
DOES THE HAPPY99 VIRUS DO?</strong></font></p>

<p>It will create two files in the Windows System folder, SKA.EXE
and SKA.DLL. SKA.EXE will be a copy of HAPPY99.EXE. It will copy
the original WSOCK32.DLL to WSOCK32.SKA. Then it will modify
WSOCK32.DLL without changing its size so it will try to run
SKA.DLL while posting to Usenet and sending E-Mail. The SKA.DLL
file will silently attach HAPPY99.EXE to a second copy of
outgoing newsgroup and e-mail messages with a barely noticable
delay. This second copy will have the same subject and recipient,
but it will have an empty body. The outgoing message will contain
the header </p>
<div align="center"><center>

<pre>X-Spanska: Yes</pre>
</center></div>

<p align="center">but this is normally not visible.</p>

<p>It does not modify any other file besides WSOCK32.DLL. <strong>WSOCK32.DLL
is a regular part of Windows that provides a connnection to the
Internet.</strong> If it is unable to modify WSOCK32.DLL, then it
will add SKA.EXE to the RunOnce section of the registry and
WSOCK32.DLL will be modified next time the computer starts. It
will still create WSOCK32.SKA even if it is unable to modify
WSOCK32.DLL. This virus will keep a list of message recipients in
the file LISTE.SKA in the Windows System folder. It will try not
to send the Happy99.exe file twice to the same person. The size
of SKA.EXE (and HAPPY99.EXE) is 10,000 bytes. The size of SKA.DLL
is 8,192 bytes.</p>

<p>This virus does <strong>not</strong> steal passwords, as some
sources have reported. It does not contain any payload other than
the fireworks display. However, it could overload an e-mail
server if a lot of copies get passed around. Also, since it gets
passed along a lot, a different virus could attach to HAPPY99.EXE
somewhere along the way. Without SKA.DLL and SKA.EXE, the
modified WSOCK32.DLL cannot perform any viral action. However
using a modified WSOCK32.DLL <i>could</i> cause problems while on
the Internet. The most common problem that has been reported is
invalid page faults, but these can have other causes. Restoring
the original WSOCK32.DLL will correct these problems.</p>

<p>This virus does <strong>not</strong> affect Macs, DOS, Windows
3.x, OS/2, Linux or WebTV. However, someone using one of those
could pass it along manually, for example by forwarding the
message. Under Windows NT it will create SKA.EXE, SKA.DLL, and
WSOCK32.SKA but will fail to add itself to the registry or modify
WSOCK32.DLL. <strong>If you have NT, you don't have to follow the
removal steps;</strong> you can simply delete SKA.DLL and SKA.EXE
from inside Windows NT if you would like. This virus is not able
to infect WSOCK32.DLL if it has the read-only attribute. Setting
the read-only attribute after being infected is useless. I
caution you not to run HAPPY99.EXE even if WSOCK32.DLL is
read-only. Since it has passed through so many computers, a
different virus could attach to HAPPY99.EXE along the way. </p>

<p>Some people have asked whether it is always called
HAPPY99.EXE. This virus doesn't contain any code to change the
name. However, it would be simple for a person to change it to
anything they like.</p>

<p align="center">It contains the encrypted text:</p>
<div align="center"><center>

<pre><strong>&quot;Is it a virus, a worm, a trojan? MOUT-MOUT Hybrid (c) Spanska 1999.&quot;</strong></pre>
</center></div>

<p align="center">Spanska is the alias of a virus writer who has
written several other viruses. </p>

<h2 align="center">Removal</h2>

<p>Steps marked optional are not absolutely necessary and are
completely safe to skip. If you're not comfortable with DOS, get
someone knowledgable to help you with this. These steps should be
safe, even under unexpected circumstances, but I can't make
guarantees. Perform these at your own risk. If you have Windows
NT, you don't have to follow the removal steps.</p>

<p>If your not sure whether you are infected or not, then perform
step 10 to check if you're clean.</p>

<ol>
    <li>Click Start, then Shut Down, then &quot;Restart Computer
        in MS-DOS mode&quot;, then click Yes. It's important to
        exit Windows in order to be able to replace the file
        WSOCK32.DLL which Windows normally has in use. </li>
    <li>At the DOS prompt type these commands exactly and press
        enter at the end of each line: <pre>
CD \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
</pre>
        <p>If that doesn't work, try </p>
        <pre>
CD SYSTEM
</pre>
    </li>
    <li>Delete SKA.EXE and SKA.DLL by typing <pre>
DEL SKA.EXE
DEL SKA.DLL
</pre>
        <p>If you get &quot;File not found&quot; you're either
        not infected or in the wrong directory. Make sure you're
        in your Windows System directory; check to see if you
        followed step 3 exactly. </p>
    </li>
    <li>Copy WSOCK32.SKA to WSOCK32.DLL by typing <pre>
ATTRIB -R WSOCK32.DLL
COPY WSOCK32.SKA WSOCK32.DLL
</pre>
        <p>The ATTRIB command is just in case WSOCK32.DLL has
        been made read-only since the infection. Answer
        &quot;Yes&quot; if it asks if you want to overwrite
        WSOCK32.DLL. Explanation: WSOCK32.SKA is a backup of the
        original WSOCK32.DLL. You are replacing the modified DLL
        with the original. If you get a &quot;Sharing
        violation&quot; make sure you followed step 1. </p>
    </li>
    <li><i>Optional</i> Delete WSOCK32.SKA by typing <pre>
DEL WSOCK32.SKA
</pre>
        <p>You can leave WSOCK32.SKA on your system. It is a copy
        of your original WSOCK32.DLL Do <b>not</b> delete
        WSOCK32.SKA if you are unable to replace WSOCK32.DLL with
        WSOCK32.SKA. </p>
    </li>
    <li>Return to Windows by typing <pre>
EXIT
</pre>
    </li>
    <li><p align="center"><i>Optional</i> Click Start, then Run,
        then type regedit in the text box, then click OK. Click
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then Software, then Microsoft, then
        Windows, then CurrentVersion. Under RunOnce check for
        SKA.EXE and select it if it is there. Press delete and
        then click Yes. Close Regedit. Don't change anything else
        without making a backup of the registry first. If you
        don't find SKA.EXE in the registry, it doesn't mean
        you're not infected. SKA.EXE is only added to the
        registry if HAPPY99.EXE is unable to modify WSOCK32.DLL
        when you run it. Also, you'll only find it in the
        registry if you haven't rebooted since you ran
        HAPPY99.EXE.<br>

        width="534" height="146"></p>
    </li>
    <li><i>Optional</i> Choose Start, Programs, Accessories,
        Notepad, choose File, then Open then type
        C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LISTE.SKA in the File Name box. Warn
        the people on the list, then delete LISTE.SKA. Make it
        clear to the people you warn that they won't be infected
        unless they ran happy99.exe, to avoid alarming them
        unnecessarily. If you haven't sent out any infected
        e-mails, there won't be a LISTE.SKA. </li>
    <li><i>Optional</i> Delete the HAPPY99.EXE file. The location
        of HAPPY99.EXE will vary depending on where you saved it.
        You can delete it simply by dragging it to the Recycle
        Bin from within Windows or whatever method you prefer.
        You may still have some messages with HAPPY99.EXE
        attached in your mailbox. These cannot do anything unless
        you run them. You can delete them if you want to or just
        ignore them. </li>
    <li><i>Optional</i> If you aren't sure whether you are
        infected, choose Start, then Find, then &quot;Files or
        Folders&quot;. Then type WSOCK32.DLL in the
        &quot;Named&quot; box. In the &quot;Look in&quot; box
        choose drive C: or whatever drive you have Windows on. In
        the &quot;Containing Text&quot; box type
        &quot;ska.dll&quot; without the quotes. Then click
        &quot;Find Now&quot;. If you don't find any files, that
        means that wsock32.dll isn't the modified version. If you
        don't have the modified WSOCK32.DLL, the virus has no way
        to attach to e-mails, even if you have SKA.EXE, SKA.DLL,
        and WSOCK32.SKA in the Windows System folder. If you have
        SKA.EXE in the RunOnce registry section, and you haven't
        deleted SKA.EXE, then the virus will try to modify
        WSOCK32.DLL the next time you restart the computer. If
        you would like to check if SKA.EXE is in the registry,
        then do step 7. Source: <a

        <p align="center"><font color="#000000" size="4"><strong>Here's
        How...</strong></font></p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#000000" size="3">Thousands
        of people submit their classified ads to Free Classified
        Ad Sites using submission software like SubmitWolf,
        etc.&nbsp; When you get a <strong>Free Ad Site</strong>
        from us, it will come already plugged-in to ALL the major
        submission software scripts.&nbsp; This means that
        several thousand people will be posting ads on YOUR
        Hi-Traffic Free Ad Sites every single week.</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font color="#000000" size="4"><strong>Now
        Here's Where It Gets Good:</strong></font></p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#000000" size="3">Each
        person that posts will automatically receive an email
        'thank you' message containing YOUR personal (sales)
        message!</font></p>
        <p align="center"><font color="#0000FF" size="3"><strong>This
        Is The Totally Net-Approved Way To Send<br>
        Thousands Of Personalized Emails Weekly!</strong></font></p>
        <p align="left">It is a universally acceptable way to say
        &quot;thanks&quot; when someone posts a free ad on your
        Site. This is NOT considered to be spam.&nbsp; And to be
        totally sure, just put a few words on your Free Ad Site's
        index page telling the ad posters they will be sent an
        automatic confirmation email when they post an ad.<br>
        <br>
        Of course, most ads are posted by people who are using
        auto-submission programs, so they don't actually visit
        your site to post their ad.&nbsp; But your wording will
        be there at your Site if they want to read it. Those who
        use auto-submission software know that these emails are
        the price they pay for posting their free ads. And there
        is an increasing number of people using submission
        software and/or online submissions to post their Ads,
        Free Links and search engine submissions! In other words,
        this is a fast-growing market. &nbsp; (And that's great
        news for you!)</p>

        are pre-registered with ALL major submission software
        databases! Like SubmitWolf,etc.,etc. (The actual
        submission software scripts which we are plugged into
        must remain private for commercial reasons, but suffice
        to say, we are in ALL the big ones, and we are added to
        new databases as they come on to the market).</p>
        <p align="left">The number of people posting ads by
        auto-submission is growing virtually by the hour! This
        creates an ever-increasing amount of net-friendly
        email-traffic for you to easily tap right into. Online
        Marketing just doesn't get any easier than this!</p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#0000FF"><strong>Reason #2</strong></font><strong><br>
        </strong>We use specially-configured MIVA scripts
        designed exclusively for our <font color="#FF0000"
        size="5" face="Challenge Extra Bold">Hi-Traffic</font><font
        color="#FF0000"><strong> Free Ad Sites</strong></font>,
        These are light-years ahead of any Perl scripts out
        there, as is explained below:</p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#0000FF"><strong>Reason #3</strong></font><strong><br>
        </strong>We allow you to fully customize the all
        important <strong>SUBJECT LINE.</strong>&nbsp; <br>
        If your Subject Line says, &quot;Thank you for your
        submission&quot; or &quot;Re: Your Classified Ad&quot; or
        &quot;You're Linked&quot; ...etc.,etc.,etc... then you
        are only going to get a fraction of the response-rate
        that is possible. But whatever else you say, your Subject
        Line should always begin with the one thing guaranteed to
        get their undivided attention... (<em>see below</em>)</p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#0000FF"><strong>Reason #4.</strong></font><strong><br>
        </strong><font color="#FF0000"><strong>Our scripts insert
        each ad-poster's First and Last names automatically into
        the Subject Line!!<br>
        </strong></font>This is only <strong>ONE</strong> of the <strong>KILLER</strong>
        features of our Miva scripts!!&nbsp; This means each and
        every piece of email being sent out for you, is
        PERSONALLY addressed to each ad-poster!&nbsp; Imagine
        John Smith submits his ad by auto-submission and receives
        your email message, and the first thing he sees in the
        Subject Line is those two magic words....</p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#FF0000" size="4"><strong>John
        Smith</strong></font><font color="#0000FF"><strong> - his
        OWN NAME!</strong></font></p>
        <p align="left">For example, let's say you choose for a
        Subject Line:<br>
        &quot;<font color="#FF0000"><strong>free 650+ Site
        Submissions here!</strong></font>&quot;<br>
        The Subject Line would arrive like this:<br>
        &quot;<font color="#FF0000"><strong>John Smith, free 650+
        Site Submissions here!</strong></font>&quot;<br>
        This feature automatically personalizes each and every<br>
        piece of email for you, so it receives the undivided
        attention it deserves! </p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#0000FF"><strong>Reason #5.</strong></font><strong><br>
        </strong>Our scripts insert a brief disclaimer at the top
        of each email.&nbsp; This qualifies the email by
        explaining it is sent out automatically in response to
        them posting their Ad on your Site, so that it is not
        confused as spam. (Please do not remove this notice.)</p>
        <p align="left"><font color="#0000FF"><strong>Reason #6.</strong></font><strong><br>
        </strong>When you sign up you'll receive, absolutely
        free, a special insider report on how to use the Free Ad
        Sites to your maximum advantage. We'll reveal all the
        cutting-edge tricks we've learned and mastered on how to

        is guaranteed to put your profits into overdrive, and if

        <p align="left"><font color="#0000FF"><strong>Reason #7.</strong></font><strong><br>
        </strong>Our scripts collect the email addresses of all
        ad-posters for future follow-ups and updates if desired.
        (Within our sensible guidelines). You will need to use
        software that can handle personalization (names of
        ad-posters are included with their email addresses) You
        will also need to de-dupe, and honor any remove requests.
        We will give you a free download site where you can get a
        free version of GroupMail which handle all this. Or, if
        you prefer to use a free web-based service, one that is
