I have received the following information.
There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet. If
you receive an e-mail message with the subject line "Good Times", DO NOT
read the message, DELETE it immediately.
Some miscreant is sending e-mail under the title "good times"
nation-wide. If you get anything like this, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE! It
has a virus that rewrites your hard drive, obliterating anything on it.
Please be careful and forward this mail to anyone you care about.
Luckily, there is one sure means of detecting what is now known as the
"Good Times" virus. It always travels to new computers the same way ina
text e-mail message with the subject line reading simply "Good Times".
Avoiding infection is easy once the file has been received - not reading
it. The act of loading the file into the mail server's ASCII buffer
causes the "Good Times" mainline program to initialize and execute. The
program is highly intelligent - it will send copies of itself to
everyone whose e-mail address is contained in a received-mail file or a
sent-mail file, if it can find one. It will then proceed to trash the
computer it is running on.
