CRIPES Fritz! Do you also believe Barack Obama is a communist socialist terrorist muslim because some hack emailed you with something that *said he was*? If you'd CHECKED 'snopes' you would have found there ain't nothing new about this 'virus'.
Although it is a real virus - somewhere out there - keep your pants on. It's nothing new, and is nothing quite like it is described as. Simply don't open any emails with attachments from people you don't know. Better yet, don't open attachments from people YOU know either. And WHATEVER you do - don't download any 'free software' promising to eliminate spyware from your computer or 'clean your registry'. If you try and view a video file and get an offer for a upgraded video codec - run away - close your browser and stay away from that nasty site. Above all - NEVER, EVER "ingest" any excecutable that you didn't ask for! Once again - an internet hoax worse than ANY possible virus!!! Well... except for the Good Times Virus! Do NOT open any email with the title "Good Times" 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 current boyfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to your Visa 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 Methamphetamine in your bathtub and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase gradeschooles with your new snowblower. -WaV FYI.
