The good times or deeyenda virus is a hoax. ie The message is the virus.

It is NOT possible to get a virus on your computer from reading an email
message. A virus can only affect your system if you install a piece of
software and run it. This is not the case when reading email.

If you want lots more info on viruses point your www browser at

http://www.bocklabs.wisc.edu/~janda/virl_faq.html

this document can also be obtained via email by email to LISTSERV@LEHIGH.EDU
with the command INFO VIRUS-L in the message body.

This should be the LAST message on this subject discussed on this list.

Please send any comments or questions directly to me.

Gord
