The happy99.exe virus (actually worm) file is not a harmless file.
Do a file search for the following files...
ska.exe
ska.dll
wsock32.ska
If they are on your system, you have been infected and you will
continue to infect others to whom you send email.
The worm is not sent along with your intended email message but
in a second email message with happy99.exe attached. That is how
it got out of your computer and into the e-mail. Anyone who
receives the second message with the happy99.exe attachement and
who executes the attachment will then become infected and spread
the worm through their email messages.
While the worm apparently does no real harm to infected systems,
it is still annoying and you need to rid your computer of the
happy99.exe file and the files it creates and alters. Here is a
URL describing Happy 99 and how to remove it from your system.
