>>>The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a matter of
>>>major importance to any regular user of the InterNet.  Apparently, a new
>>>computer virus has been engineered by a user of America Online that is
>>>unparalleled in its destructive capability.  Other, more well-known
>>>viruses such as Stoned, Airwolf, and Michaelangelo pale in comparison
>>>to the prospects of this newest creation by a warped mentality.
>>>
>>>What makes this virus so terrifying, said the FCC, is the fact that
>>>no program needs to be exchanged for a new computer to be infected.
>>>It can be spread through the existing e-mail systems of the InterNet.
>>>Once a computer is infected, one of several things can happen.  If the
>>>computer contains a hard drive, that will most likely be destroyed.
>>>If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor will be placed in
>>>an nth-complexity infinite binary loop - which can severely damage the
>>>processor if left running that way too long.  Unfortunately, most
>>>novice computer users will not realize what is happening until it is far
>>too
>>>late.
>>>
>>>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.
>>>
>>>The bottom line here is - if you receive a file with the subject line "Good
>>
>>>TImes", delete it immediately!  Do not read it!  Rest assured that
>>>whoever's name was on the "From:" line was surely struck by the virus.
>>>
>>>Warn your friends and local system users of this newest threat to the
>>>InterNet!  It could save them a lot of time and money.
