  >>destroy your hard DRIVE.  Do NOT -- repeat -- do NOT download AND do 
  NOT >>-- repeat -- do NOT even READ anything if the "Subject" or "Re" 
  lines >>include the word "Good" -- specifically, "Good News" or "Good 
  Times." >>Delete the message immediately without reading it!!

  >>Full details follow:

  >>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. Please read the messages 
  below. >>
  >>Some miscreant is sending e-mail 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
  on 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 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 affected and 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, in a text e-mail 
  >>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 e-mail 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 >>whosever'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.
