Hey folks.
We just got a warning in our office about a computer virus that's been reportedly spread through the internet and I thought I'd share it with you.
The virus shows up under the heading "GOOD TIMES"
If you get an e-mail message under this heading, don't open it. If you do, it will re-write your hard drive and destroy everything on it.
Trash it immediately.
Have a virus free day!
MD

The Good Times virus is a hoax! Now back to Seinfeld, already in progress...
For a FAQ explaining the whole history behind the hoax, see http://www.amherst.edu/~atstarr/gt.html

The "Good Times" virus is a well-documented urban legend, with no basis in reality. I helped spread it myself last year, then learned that it's impossible to infect your hard drive w/a virus simply by opening and reading an email message. You'd have to execute a program. If you want the report I received refuting the story of this virus, I can post the agency's address.
