There is a Virus doing the rounds again that first appeared back in May 1999. It originated in France and spreads itself via email. The email contains an attachment called, 'PrettyPark.exe' and once launched, may display the 3D Pipe Screen Saver before making copies of itself and compromising the security of the computer, network and COMPANY DATA.

This Virus may arrive in the form of a joke program.

DO NOT OPEN IT!

Also look out for 'Happy99', 'Happy00' and 'Happy2000'

Yes, the American company I am working with in Berlin has been hit today by e-mails with Joke as the title. As usual this is on Outlook. Delete without opening the mail and then delete from the bin.
