This virus was started in 2005, so as viruses go they are quite old, they enter your system on an incoming mail with an attached. Exe file. If you open this file, it activates the virus and while it does not actually harm your data or computer they are not good to have. No virus is and it should be removed. This can be done manually or with anti virus tools.
This little bug first came to light in 2005 and when it come in on an ingoing email it shows as an. Exe file. The virus is activated when the. Exe file is opened, but it actually does no harm to your computer, and it also doesn't harm you information. It is easily and simply removed manually by using anti-virus software.
Otherwise known as the HAPP99. EXE, this is one of the Win32 Trojans. It has an inoffensive enough harm and after all it only causes a fireworks display. It spreads really quickly by people who don't know they are sending it and by the same token, it is highly unlikely you will know that you are sending it to someone else.
Two files are created in the system folder, the SKA. EXE & SKA. DLL. Files. One modifies your files and the other allows the virus to do its work. Effectively it kind of mutates and turns into another version of the file and happily attaches itself to your outgoing mails that you spread it unawares.
Just like all viruses and all Trojans, Win32 is a sneaky little "b", and although it is not nearly as harmful to your equipment and won't crash your computer, ruin programs or allow anyone to view your private information it can cause a mail server to become overloaded. As it attaches itself to newsgroups, if the email lists are very long, it can clog up a server for what seems like an eternity.
Additionally, dangerous viruses that can cause a great deal of harm are able to attach themselves to the Win32. This happens because Win32 is passed around so much and is basically left alone.
It is not a difficult task to remove this Trojan manually through DOS, so you don't require any specific anti-virus tools. You will know if your computer is infected because of the telltale fireworks display going off when you send and outgoing mail. It is just a case of looking for it and isolating it. After all you wouldn't like to be responsible for passing Win32 onto someone else's PC.
Third party, and far more dangerous viruses can attach to a Win32, and in instances like this, your information will be compromised and mutations can occur. The only solution is to get rid of any Win32 viruses before this can happen.
