Friends,

My husband, who has Internet access through the Veterans' Administration, 
received a warning about a new virus being sent over the Internet.  He 
took it seriously; told me about it; and therefore I feel compelled to 
pass the warning on to you.

The virus is called "Good Times."  If you receive an email message with 
this title in the subject line, please do not read the message.  Instead, 
delete it immediately.  The program will rewrite your hard drive; send 
copies of itself to everyone whose email address is contained in a 
received-mail file or sent-mail file; and then trash the computer it is 
running on.

I have not yet seen it on the newsgroups I belong to, but forewarned is 
forearmed.
