   Gentlefolk:

   The ``Good Times'' virus is a hoax, an urban legend.  To quote from
the CERT Coordination Center memo on the subject:

> The "Good Times" virus warnings are a hoax.  People are circulating
> the warnings without verifying the information contained therein,
> thus leading to unnecessary worry and concern.  Please do not
> circulate the "Good Times" warnings further.  Please send this
> advisory on to anyone who has mail you such an advisory.

For the full story, check one of:

    http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/notes/Notes09.shtml
    ftp://ciac.llnl.gov/pub/ciac/notes/notes09.txt

where CIAC is the ``Computer Incident Advisory Capability'', and CERT
may or may not be ``Computer Emergency Response Team'' :-).  See also

Question B9(c) for the above ``Good Times'' reference, and Question A4
for the name confusion.


			Sincerely yours,
