Good evening
Ok you did good so far... all you have left to do is Disconnect from the
internet and close all internet related applications www/ftp/icq/irc/email
everything... once you have done that you need to do a find for wsock32.*
you will most likely find two files the infected one labeled
wsock32.dll and the backup the happy99 so thoughtfully made for you it
will be listed as wsock32.ska... simply delete the wsock32.dll (infected
file) and rename wsock32.ska to wsock32.dll reboot and your all set...
You may also want to do a find for list*.ska if you find this file you
can open it with notepad listed will be all the email addresses happy99
sent itself too and you should inform those users of possible infection as
well
Hope that help some
