This Good Times virus thing has been a recurring hoax for several years.
Interested parties should visit the US Dept. of Energy's Computer Incident
Advisory Capability (CIAC) Website at:
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/
Go to the "Notes" page and do a keyword search for "good times virus". When
last I checked (about 15 minutes ago), there were five notes that address
this subject.
IPs might also wish to obtain the The Good Times Virus Hoax FAQ. FTP to
usit.net and look in the pub/lesjones directory. The URL is:
