Thank God...I received an unsolicited request last week from a place called the Day Traders of Orange County asking to post a reciprocal link on my web site, and responded to them yesterday. Just after I read your post I went to get my email and they send me Happy99.exe without any text or explanation. So if anyone receives email from admin@worldwidetraders.com please do not open it.

E-Mail Virus Scams You know, as much as I am trying to avoid posting, The one thing I do hate is Virus Scams. Here is the one on Happy99, the fact is that most people get scammed and there are a hundred phoney virus scams, maybe a thousand and perhaps ten thousand or even more. kumite.com The real problem with these scams is that no one ever checks them out, they spread the rumor first. I wish all well, but in my experience these warnings about e-mail viruses are not well thought out. I will add more Hoax Sites below in the next few minutes ciac.llnl.gov gerlitz.com You know, instead of falling into the plan of the jerk who propogated this stuff, I would hope you would investigate first prior to calling fire in the theater. This is not meant as an insult, just as a reminder that such a warning puts people on guard. Yet the warning has no basis, it has the same effect as yelling fire but you saw not the fire.
