The following two links will give info on the happy virus

http://www.europe.datafellows.com/v-descs/ska.htm
members.tripod.com/docsmiley/happy99.htm

ok this is going to be spam on how to fix it.

BEGINSPAM

___
1) If you have not already done so since running the Happy99 program,
shutdown the computer.

2) *RECOMMENDED* Delete all messages in your email program with the
Happy99.exe attachment.

3) Restart your computer in SAFE MODE COMMAND PROMPT ONLY (F8 While
computer is booting, Option 7)

4) Once it has restarted, you should see "C:\>" on the screen.

5) Type in "cd windows" and press "enter" or "return"

6a) Type in "cd system" and press "enter" or "return".

Note: You should see "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>" on the screen.

6b) Type in "attrib -r wsock32.dll" and press "enter" or "return".

7) Type in "copy wsock32.ska wsock32.dll" and press "enter" or
"return".

8) When asked if you want to overwrite wsock32.dll, type "y" for
yes.
If you get an error message, type "del wsock32.dll" , press "enter" or
"return" and do step 7 again.

9) Type "del ska.dll", press "enter" or "return".

10) Type "del ska.exe", press "enter" or "return".

11) Type "del liste.ska", press "enter" or "return".

12) *OPTIONAL* If you have followed all of the steps correctly, you
may
delete "wsock32.ska"
safely (Type "del wsock32.ska" and "enter" or "return"). I
would
suggest renaming it so
that you can keep it without it being detected by an antivirus
program. To rename it type
"ren wsock32.ska wsock32.old", then "enter" or "return".

13) Hold down Control. Hold Down ALT. Press DELETE. Release all of
the
other keys.

14) If the BOOT menu comes back up, select NORMAL MODE

15) I suggest that you notify everyone on your email list about the
virus
since you may have sent it to them unknowingly.


ENDSPAM


hope that helps
