Subject: [OT] Happy99.exe

Hi
 
I've got a leach/virus program from an email from the piclist that attaches it self to out going emails  I got it from Vidal Pereira da Silva Júnior <vidal@vidal.com.br> It sends a file called Happy99.exe,  my version of Mcafee didn't detect anything but Tim Ellingtons did.  We don't know if it is harmful or not yet.  SO DON"T OPEN and run the file called happy99.exe,  delete it from your hard drive.  I have a theory that all it does is leach to emails but I'm not for certain.  I ran the program and it's a fancy fireworks display but it I think that's when it infected my computer.  I have Mcafee running and it scans every single activity on my computer but it didn't find this one. So from now on all the emails I send might have this leach email after it.  I've gone through my computer and deleted it and did a virus scan disk and nothing has show up yet. (yet is the word)
Sorry for the inconvenience and if you have any info on this virus please contact me.
 
Jason
