- From: CSBN0::CHAU "Elizabeth Chau" 6-DEC-1994 11:32:28.96 - To: CSBN - CC: CHAU - Subj: virus alert - - - Some miscreant is sending e-mail under the title "good times" nation-wide. - If you get anything like this, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE! It has a virus that - rewrites your hard drive, obliterating anything on it. - - Please be careful and forward this warning to anyone you care about. -
This has turned out to be a *hoax*. Unless you use a mailer like Eudora that launches eg decompacters for attached files, mail cannot contaminate with a virus. -- Michel Eytan, U Strasbourg II eytan@dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr "Je dis ce que je pense et je pense ce que je dis"
