Folks, if you don't have antivirus detection software on your computer, I
recommend that you get it.

Here's what the UCD Postmaster has to say about the virus (apparently the
fireworks display is very attractive)...

The virus is harmless until you open it. Once you do your screen will
display fireworks, then everytime your send an email a copy of the worm
will be sent as a seperate email... If you do a search on the web for
happy99 you'll find many pages concerning this one worm. You can also
