Of course. Happy.exe sends out a new e-mail after you send an e-mail or
sends itself as an attachment with your mail. It is not a virus, but a
"worm".
Not really a big deal. You probably already know the steps you need to
follow to eradicate on your system.
Happy.exe by itself sitting there in e-mail is harmless. You have to
click on it to make something happen. The lesson here is to not open
executable files from anyone, unless you know what the files are. Delete
the e-mail, then just to make sure, delete it out of your Trash folder
also.
If you are wondering if you have it, check for the files SKA.EXE and
SKA.DLL on your system. If you find them, either install/upgrade to some
newer anti-virus programs or manually uninstall the worm per
instructions located all over the net. Once good source is:
