Dostalem od znajomego. Dziele sie.
There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet. If you
receive an e-mail message with the subject line : "Good Times" DO
NOT read the message!. DELETEE it immediately. Please red the
message
below. Some miscreant is ending e-mail under the title "Good Times"
nation wide, if you get anything like this, DON'T DOWN LOAD THE FILE!
It has a virus that rewrites you hard drive, obliterating anything on it.
Please be careful and foward this mail to anyone you care about.
WARNING!!! INTERNET VIRUS
The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a mater 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
unparalled 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 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 in 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 everone whose e-mail address is contained in a receive-amil
file or a sent-mail file, if it can find one. The bottom line here is if
you receive a file with the subject line "Good Times," delete it
immediatel!! DO NOT READ IT...allow me to repeat DO NOT READIT!!!!
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.
