Kedves Mindenki!
Az internetre a legnagyobb vesze1lyt, szerintem, az a legu1jabb amerikai
to2rve1ny jelenti, amely a ka1bel TV-ze1s e1s hasonlo1k mellett az
internetr3ol is szo1l...:(
A "Good Time"-ro1l szo1lo1 'figyelmeztete1s' itt

Viszont a Michaelangelo nevu3 valo1ban le1tezo3 PC vi1rus ma1rcius 6-a1n

(Akiket a kacsa re1szletei is e1rdekelnek, annak sza1ma1ra idema1solok egy

The "Good Times" virus is an urban legend!
[from the CIAC notes]
In the early part of December 1994, CIAC started to receive information
requests about a supposed "virus" which could be contracted via America
Online, simply by reading a message.
THIS IS A HOAX. Upon investigation, CIAC has determined that this message
originated from both a user of America Online and a student at a university
at approximately the same time, and it was meant to be a hoax.
CIAC has also seen other variations of this hoax, the main one is that any
electronic mail message with the subject line of "xxx-1" will infect your
computer.
This rumor has been spreading very widely. This spread is due mainly to the
fact that many people have seen a message with "Good Times" in the header.
They delete the message without reading it, thus believing that they have
saved themselves from being attacked. These first-hand reports give a false
sense of credibility to the alert message.
There has been one confirmation of a person who received a message with
"xxx-1" in the header, but an empty message body. Then, (in a panic,
because he had heard the alert), he checked his PC for viruses (the first
time he checked his machine in months) and found a pre-existing virus on
his machine. He incorrectly came to the conclusion that the E-mail message
gave him the virus (this particular virus could NOT POSSIBLY have spread
via an E-mail message). This person then spread his alert.
As of this date, there are no known viruses which can infect merely through
reading a mail message. For a virus to spread some program must be
executed. Reading a mail message does not execute the mail message. Yes,
Trojans have been found as executable attachments to mail messages, the
most notorious being the IBM VM Christmas Card Trojan of 1987, also the
TERM MODULE Worm (reference CIAC Bulletin B-7) and the GAME2 MODULE Worm
(CIAC Bulletin B-12). But this is not the case for this particular "virus"
alert.
If you encounter this message being distributed on any mailing lists,
simply ignore it or send a follow-up message stating that this is a false
rumor.
