Z Atlas GIS Discussion list dostalem ponizsze ostrzezenie.
Nie jestem w stanie powiedziec, czy jest to kiepski dowcip, zapowiedz
pogromu czy tez informacja, ktora trzeba czytac " nie samochody a rowery
i nie dawali tylko kradli..." :).
Czy kros moze kompetentnie skomentowac ponizsze ostrzezenie?
Pozdrowienia,

Subject: VIRUSES -- IMPORTANT PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY (fwd)
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, DELETE it immediately. Please read the
messages below.
Some miscreant is sending 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 your hard drive, obliterating anything on it. Please be
careful and forward this mail to anyone you care about--I have.

WARNING!!!!!!!!!: INTERNET VIRUS
The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a matter of major
importance to any regular user of the InterNet. Apparently, a new
computer virus has been engineered by a user of America Online that is
unparalleled 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 that
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 the same
way in a text e-mail message with the subject line reading simply
"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 everyone whose e-mail address is contained in a received-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 here 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 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.
