Virus Alert (HOAX!)

[Mel Roseman <mel@LAFN.ORG>]

Oh no, not again!

The "Good Times" virus alert is a thoroughly documented hoax and urban
legend.  But like other urban legends, it refuses to die, and
well-intentioned newcomers to the Internet continue to propogate the
story.

The CIAC (Computer Incident Advisory Capability) is the *official*
Internet site for such reports, and their CIAC Notes, Number 4 (94-04
December 6, 1994) gives a complete account of this particular hoax.

For the full text of CIAC Notes #4, use Yahoo (or any other WWW search) for
the keyword  CIAC     or email a request to me,   mel@lafn.org.  Do *not*
address your request to LM_NET.

                                                        Sincerely,
                                                        - Mel Roseman
