PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE BELOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some miscreant is sending  email under the title "Good Times"
nationwide, if you get anything like this, DON'T DOWN LOAD THE FILE!

It has a virus that rewrites your hard drive, obliterating anything it.
Please be careful and forward this mail to anyone you care about. 
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 ON LINE 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 email 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 in a text email message with the subject line reading "Good Times".
Avoiding infection is easy once the file has been received simply by 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 email address is contained in a receive-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 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.

Could you pass this along to your global mailing list as well?
