On Net-Train, there is discussion about a new worm, Happy99.exe (gosh I'm glad Mac's 
can't easily read executables<g>).

Here's how it works. You get an e-mail, click on the happy99.exe - see little 
fireworks & happy new year. Appears to be harmless. In fact, in the background the 
worm is changing your <dll>s ... and the next time you send an e-mail (to anyone), it 
will send a copy of the worm along -- piggybacking as it were.
