Hi, all:

I did some brief research on Happy99. Turns out it is more properly called
a "worm" than a "virus."

If anyone is "concerned" about this pest, as I have been recently, may I
suggest that you (or your system operator) consult the following web site:

http://www.symantec.com/pysmac.html (It also has "Melissa!")

If you click on "Happy99.worm" It will give complete instructions as to how
to eradicate this unwanted pest.

Also to see if *any* virus is real or is a hoax, this is the page...
