I received the following warning from Vasana Werasignhe and I checked with
our postmaster. (Thanks, Vasana for catching this!)
Our UC Davis' postmaster's advice is attached below on how to remove the
worm.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Subject: Virus
Hi Pam,
This is FYI regarding, the recent email I got through seafood list (from
Mitieli Baleivanualala).
I got two identical email from him/her, one was the real email and the
other was the Happy99 virus. I doubt whether the person know that his/her
mailbox is infected (knowing the type of the virus).
This is what I know about this virus: If you open that file (happy99.exe),
your mailbox will get infected and mails will be sent to the people listed
in the your address book without your knowledge.
May be you did not receive such a file but I just thought of letting you know.
Regards
Vasana

Hi Pam,
This is actually a worm... called the "happy 99" worm.
Subject: Happy 99 Worm
Aparently, Symantec has created a utility to remove the Happy 99 Virus.
It is available at:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/fix.happy99.worm.html
You may want to share this with all the subscribers of your list.
regards,
Debbie
