     First, it's a hoax. Forget it. It's been a hoax since
     the last time it came around, but then the "virus" was
     on AOL.

     Second, please do not post virus warnings, computer
     security warnings, or generic bug announcements in
     TECHWR-L. List readers who want that kind of
     information have other forums in which to get it; list
     readers who just want technical communication
     information have few other online resources.

     Exception: Serious (deleting your files, formatting
     your harddrive, etc.) bugs in software most of us use
     could be reported. I'd lump Word, WordPerfect, Frame,
     Interleaf and Pagemaker in that category.

     Thanks!

A message just went around my company warning us about a new virus.  It's
transmitted by an email message with the subject "good times."  This virus
is transmitted when you open the mail and it destroys your harddrive.  The
recommendation is to delete the message asap WITHOUT READING IT.  Warn all
your friends and coworkers.
