Garth,Do a altavista-USEnet search on happy99.exe and you will see
that the virus is posted to a lot of places...it modifies winsock.dll
(the gateway between client programs and the internet for windows
systems) to attach a uuencoded version of the "worm" to anyemail
or usenet post the infected user sends...It also seems to do some
tricks with the headers from what i have seen...I am not sure about
 that..but Johnny did not send them on purpose,He was a victim,and
because of circumestances,you look like the culprit that sent it to him.
As far as how you got involved i dont know,but If you read the warning
and the followup to it that was posted thismorning,you would see how
this "virus"/"worm" works and can cause a lot of confusion....Also just
to make thing more fucked up,Johnny had told me this morning that he saw
the posts that look like he sent the virus and he said that he had not 
sent the posts that are inquestion in the first place...Could you provide
headers for these posts?I would like  see them......and if it can be so
lets take this to email,instead of a.a-a....


    Be Cool,
      Krogg.
