 Information about the happy99, ska Trojan:

   Happy99 is a Win32 based Trojan program. When this program is executed it will display some fireworks. To see a screen shot of these fireworks click here or download this virus to see them in action! Apart from the fireworks display this program will do some other activity in the background without the user's permission. In the background this program will create two files SKA.EXE and SKA.DLL. It will alter WSOCK32.DLL to put its code into that file and keep the original file as WSOCK32.SKA. It can not modify the WSOCK32.DLL file if it is in use. In such a case this program will add an entry to the Windows Registry to run SKA.EXE the next time the computer is booted so that it can do these modifications. The size of this trojan file is 10000 bytes.

You will not get infected by Happy99 merely by downloading the trojan file. You will have to execute it to get infected.

   The modified WSOCK32.DLL has routines to detect the email and newsgroup postings made by the user. It will send a copy of the SKA.EXE file renamed as happy99.exe to every user or newsgroup to whom the user has sends an email. Each recipient will get the email only once and the trojan will not send repeat email to the same user. It will send a separate email retaining the subject of the first email with the file as an attachment. The trojan also maintains the file LISTE.SKA which contains the list of all email addresses and newsgroups to which this file has been sent. The unique function of this trojan is that it can spread on its own.

   Happy99 first appeared in January 1999 and it is reported to have affected a lot of users.

Happy99/Ska is a trojan with the capability to distribute itself.
