> 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 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 email message with the subject line
> reading "Good Times". Avoiding infection is easy once the
> file has been received- 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 here 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.
