At the risk of sounding as though I have fired up my Bic Lighter, and 
begun a flaming war ---

PLEASE!

Research the posts you recieve from E-Mail!

There is NO such thing as the Good Times Virus, nor many other virii for 
that matter.

I would like to take the time to point out that there are MANY virii out 
there that simply do not exist.
This simply means that some folks that are quite creative in their  
writing skills, and maybe even a bit intelligent on virus composition.  
These people have made the best type of virus... the paranoia virus.
In short... if you receive warnings about these virus alerts (as posted 
above), you should understand that they are not real.

The following messages and warnings have been Identified by as hoaxes:

     Deeyenda

The following is a humorous approach to the "Good Times" virus:

Good Times Spoof 

The following spoof of the good times hoax is too well done not to 
include here. The author of this spoof is unknown, but we will gladly 
give him credit if he will only contact us.  
READ THIS:

Goodtimes will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will 
scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will 
recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream 
goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, 
screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field harmonics 
to scratch any CD's you try to play.

It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix 
Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and leave its 
socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will 
put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit      pants and 
hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Goodtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will give you 
nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your gas tank and 
shave off both your eyebrows while dating your girlfriend behind your 
back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Discover card.

It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she is dead, such 
is the power of Goodtimes, it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those 
things we hold most dear. 
It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it. It 
will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on your boss's 
voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and 
terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Goodtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat 
up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub and then leave 
bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschoolers with 
your new snowblower.

Listen to me. Goodtimes does not exist.

It cannot do anything to you. But I can. I am sending this message to 
everyone in the world. Tell your friends, tell your family. If anyone 
else sends me another E-mail about this fake      Goodtimes Virus, I will 
turn hating them into a religion. I will do things to them that would 
make a horsehead in your bed look like Easter Sunday brunch.

So there, take that Good Times.
