about this

>IT staff in the IS are still carrying out research into this virus. It
appears

itself to

>Consequently, it is possible that the virus has been spread from the IS to
other

non-destructive -
>it just replicates itself and puts a graphic of fireworks on the screen.

>If you receive and e-mail with an attachment (enclosure) with the name of
>happy99.exe do not open or detach the file - just delete the e-mail message.

>The problem has been contained in the IS (London) and ITP staff are currently
>working on removing the virus from other IS offices.

>In order to disinfect a computer, the very latest versions of reputable

>However,  as of today these versions are only available from the
manufacturers'

>http://www.norton.com

>Both of these products require that you purchase a licence in order to use
them.

>Please contact me directly if you have any questions or require further

about the
