I never saw it here, but I have seen it recently. I thought Happy99 had to
propagate as an attachment to an e-mail file, which would seem to make
team.net safe as MJB blocks attachments.
See: http://www.msnbc.com/news/235662.asp for more info and "disinfecting"
instructions.
Basically, do not run attachments that you don't expect. Especially if they
are named "Happy99"

Subject: Apologies for the Virus
I sincerely apologize for unintentionally sending the
happy99 virus to this mailing list.
I received it as an attachment from another fellow list member,
who - I am sure - also sent it unintentionally.
Having manually removed the offending files from the SYSTEM
folder I believe my computer is now clean.
Apologies, again.
Evangelos Makris
