Delete the email and attachment without opening that attachment. The Melissa virus comes in the form of a Microsoft Word macro virus affecting machines with Microsoft Word 97 or Word2000 and is spreading rapidly via email attachments. Although it exploits no new vulnerabilities, it can send copies of your documents to the first 50 entries in the Microsoft Outlook address book if Outlook is installed. However, if you get email with the above Subject line and body text, DO NOT open the attahed word document. Delete it and empty the trash.

Beware of the Happy99 virus. When launched the Happy99 virus alters your Wsock32.dll file and then spreads itself with any email that you send. No one receives this email more then once since it keeps the list of email and newsgroups to which the file has been sent. If you have received the file but have not opened it, then your system is safe. Delete the Happy.exe file immediately.
