>> WARNING!!!!!!! INTERNET VIRUS
>>**************************************************************************
>>
>>
>>
>>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 there 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?
