The Happy Virus (Happy.exe message attachement) seems to be rearing it's head again. I've got two messages in the last week with a second message that had the attachement. First I've seen for a while.
If you get a message from someone and you also get a second message with the happy.exe attached DO NOT OPEN THE HAPPY.EXE or it will infect your PC. Delete the message immediately and notify the sender so they can take corrective action on their PC.

Geeze, NEVER open ANY .exe file, without full knowlege of exactly what it is AND what it will do!
Some joker could rename a file such as "deltree.exe", and if you launch it without a qualifying "switch", such as "deltree c:\windows *.*" (DON'T try this!), It could erase your entire "C" drive in the blink of an eye!
I found that out the hard way!
BE CAREFUL, FOLKS!
