As Peter Tashkoff pointed out, the Good Times e-mail "virus" is indeed a hoax. It has been popping up periodically on the Net since at least late 1994. For more information, see http://www.nsm.smcm.edu/News/GTHoax.html or send e-mail to archive@xconn.com with REQUEST GT_VIRUS.TXT in the subject line to receive the FAQ listing on the subject. Pierluigi, please forward the above information on to the forum where you saw the original "virus" warning if it doesn't circulate there soon.
