<< From an excellent newsletter I subscribe to, the "good times" virus is the
worst I've heard of. It is spread via e-mail. If you receive a message
with "good times" on the subject line, do NOT read it! This would activate
it, and your hard drive and processor would both be permanently destroyed.
Just delete it WITHOUT reading it, and you will be all right. Eventually
the name will change, but there is plenty of this one in circulation.

There is no "Good Times" virus- what happens is everyone gets on line and
tells all their friends and so on and so on. This is the point of the
"virus" - the online servers get clogged with all the e-mail and bog down.
Thats the whole thing. This story went thru aol a few months back . :)
