You have the Happy99 virus goto:

http://www.racesimcentral.net/  or  http://www.racesimcentral.net/  and download a free
virus checker to clean it up.

Do not open the happy99.exe file when receiving it in the mail just
delete the message and inform the sender they have the virus.  If you
run the happy99.exe file you will get re-infected.

        Happy99.exe is a VIRUS!!  If I remember right, (someone please correct
me) all that this does is when ever you send a message to one person or
one place, everyone in your address book gets that same message.

        Another words, don't send a hot and heavy email to your girl friend
because your wife will get the same email.

        You can go to the Micro soft web site on known virus's and get the
details.  I do know it's very easy to get rid of and to protect your
self from getting it again.

Heres a quote from someone who knows how to deal with Happy
-------------------
Happy99.exe strikes again...

Here's the fix..

Delete the SKA.EXE and SKA.DLL files in the Windows\System folder.
Delete/Replace the WSOCK32.DLL in the Windows\System folder with the
WSOCK32.SKA file in the Windows\System folder.(rename the wsock32.ska file
to wsock32.dll)

and NEVER execute a EXE file from mail unless you know for sure what it
is!!!
