>hard drive, that will most likely be destroyed.

>If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor

>-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
>simply by NOT READING IT! The act of loading the file into

>everyone whose email 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 there 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
