Well, the good times thingy is off subject, and I hate to add to it,
but here is my 2 cents worth.
It may not be a virus in the technical sense. But it is a virus. How
many times have you seen the good times warning on the net? a few dozen
times right? Ive seen that very message at least that many times, so I would
say that the file is replicating, even though it is *us* that is doing it.
Who ever created the idea behind the Good Times virus was very clever
indeed. He knew that it even though it had no actual coding, it would do
worse than any 'real' virus simply by feeding on our paranoia.
