Papa Yus,

I think you are being a little too harsh on sister Yai. Once one's PC is infected with the Happy99.exe warm, the warm attaches itself to
emails sent out without the sender's awareness. I don't think sister Yai intentionally sent the warm to the L. Her PC might be infected
with the warm and as a result it attaches itself to mails she sends out without her knowledge.


So Sister Yai, if you are still on the L follow these instructions to remove the worm from your station:
#########################################################
1) Terminate internet connection if you are connected
2) Delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE
3) Delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL
4) In WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory, rename WSOCK32.DLL to          WSOCK32.BAK
5) In WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory, rename WSOCK32.SKA to WSOCK32.DLL
6) Delete the downloaded file, usually named  HAPPY99.EXE
#########################################################

Papa Yus, this your class mate for seven straight years - from form one cirle at Saint's to Upper Six at GHS. Hope all this well with you
out there in Arizona.

God Speed!
Pa Mambuna
