This is FYI, in the event that the info about this "Good Times" e-mail 
virus which was forwarded to me, is accurate and valid.  

According to forward from mhorn@ccnet.com, hammfam@aola.com, 
parkersdad@aol.com, Tgreger@aol.com, clover@A.crl.com, as forwarded to 
HannaClay@aol.com, and then to the members of an aol tv show club, the 
FCC supposedly released info "Wednesday" (orig forward dated 6/6) as 
follows [I have snipped and condensed]:

The "Good Times" virus, purportedly authored and distributed by an AOL 
member, infects via e-mail.  If you get any e-mail message with its name 
in the Subject line, DO NOT READ THE MESSAGE, DELETE THE MESSAGE 
IMMEDIATELY.  It reportedly rewrites your hard drive, puts "Stones", 
"Airwold" and "Michaelangelo" to shame, and NO PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE 
EXCHANGED FOR A NEW COMPUTER TO BE INFECTED; it can be spread through 
e-mail systems on the Net.  Once infected, either the HD is destroyed, or 
the processor is placed in an "nth-complexity infinite binary loop - 
which can severly damage the processor if left running that way too 
long."  Most users would not recognize the tainted message for what it 
is, and loading the file in the mail-server's buffer causes the virus' 
mainline program to initialize and execute.  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.  "Could you pass this along 
to your global mailing list as well?"

Whether this is actual or not, I have no way of knowing, but I am 
forwarding the info just in case, to the NG's to which I suscribe.
