The "Good Time" virus is a hoax.....according to another mailing
list that received the same 'warning'.
Someone posted an article that had appeared in the New York Times
debunking it after several 'investigations'. I am no computer
expert but just read the message carefully - "destroys hard drives,
smart enough to mail itself to all other correspondents destroying
their hard drives, etc." I paraphrase because I deleted it already.
Not to worry.

I've seen this warning before and our computing unit at work assures us that
Good Times is a hoax, so don't get too worried about it.
More worring virus wise are macro virus' which can be transmitted with
word/excel files attached to e-mail. Some new virus checkers check for these
and its worth getting them installed.
