I got the following email a few minutes ago. It had a file (Happy99.exe)
attached. I was a bit suspicious, since I'd not heard of this address
before, so I scanned the executable in my eudora\attach directory and did
not execute it. Sure enough, F-PROT 3.05 tells me that the executable is
infected with a virus. Details follow. If any of you can think of anyone
else who should be notified of this, please feel free to forward this
message as you see fit. I've already notified abuse@xxxxxxxx and
sans@xxxxxxxxx If you get a copy of the original of this virus spam, do
not execute the happy99.exe program.
