Hi Samy,
Thanks for the warning. I didn't run it as I never run executables that I receive without asking for them.
Unfortunately at least 2 users in our network received them from other sources and ran them, so their machines are now infected. I'm guessing that you were infected and managed to clear it before sending your warning. If so I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know how you got it out of your system.

Do not execute Happy99.exe, it will infect your system with a WORM virus. Make sure to delete the files ska.dll and ska.exe from your system (search you all directory locations under your windows directory) otherwise you will be infected the next time you re-boot (Windows and NT users only).
