Hola Laurens, la familia bien �no?
El 07-May-00 a las 12:35:53, Laurens Holst taladraba a MSX Mailinglist
Tema: DO NOT OPEN Happy99.exe!!! >>>VIRUS<<<
LH> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
LH> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
LH> Hi.
LH> Thanks to the stupidest of stupid people (that is my father :)) we were
LH> infected with the Happy99 virus. This virus sent a file named
LH> Happy99.exe
LH> to
LH> you all. DO NOT OPEN THIS FILE, or else you will also get infected.
LH> If you have accidentally opened it (hence not only viewed the email, but
LH> actually started the attachment), then go to
LH> http://www.getvirushelp.com/
LH> as
LH> fast as you can and download Happy99Cleaner there to get rid of it.
LH> After
LH> a
LH> reboot the program will give you a list with everybody who you
LH> accidentally
LH> sent the virus. Send them all an email like this one in which you warn
LH> them
LH> for the virus.
LH> As a matter of fact, Happy99 is no real virus, but a worm. This means
LH> that
LH> it will only spread itself and will do no harm to your system. So don't
LH> worry too much (you should in case you get the ILoveYou virus).
I read this mailing list from a BBS. My reader (Termail) opened Happy99
like a uuncode message. Could I to be infected with this action?
Thanks for all.
