I received an e-mail from a collegue regarding a new virus propogated by e-mail called the "Good Times" virus. The e-mail was not very specific as to the how the virus does its damage or what security holes it exploits to do its thing. Has anybody else heard of it and have any additional information? Here is a excerpt from the e-mail I received:
You'd better delete it quickly. After that, send a card to Craig Sherhold so he can break the words record, then add your name to the bottom of the list because it's been around the world one more time, then forward this message to at least 10 of your friends before your sex life falls apart. The "Good Times virus" is not a virus, it is a chain letter ment to clog the mail systems of the internet, and this week it seems like it is doing a very good job. Please delete it, and do not forward it, and inform your users that it is a hoax. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () vt edu | Make a little birdhouse bicknell () csugrad cs vt edu | in your soul...... bicknell () ussenterprise async vt edu | They Might http://ussenterprise.async.vt.edu/~bicknell/ | Be Giants
