This is a re-posting of an earlier VIRUS-L/comp.virus posting
concerning the "Good Times" hoax - which has somehow regained some
energy.  To paraphrase a very old Saturday Night Live episide(s), "The
Good Times 'virus' is still dead."

In the past few days, VIRUS-L/comp.virus has become inundated with
(mostly identical) submissions regarding a reported virus on America
On Line called "Good Times".  This report has been determined (by
several FIRST teams, etc.) to be a hoax started by a user at a
university.  Because of this, I will not be posting any of the
submissions on this "virus".
