Notwithstanding that I deleted the happy.exe and did not open it, Norton AntiVirus detected it in my Eudora "trash" file and the Norton Protected files (all the above in Win98)., and It took a bit of time to get rid of it.  Norton called it "happy99.worm."  Norton Antivirus files dated 1-21-99 found it.  Point is, even if you deleted it, make sure that it didn't get into a protected file somewhere.  I don't know what it was supposed to do - I didn't want to find out!
