Virus Shmirus

Richard Romeo reports:
"I've been told of a virus spreading via e-mail which has the word Happy
in subject or something to that effect.  If you view message your hard
drive will be wiped clean and the CPU will be given a rather complicated
mathematical request which will burn that out as well.  I hear this is
legit so  delete the message is what I hear to save yourself.  Beware...s"


This sounds like the GOOD TIMES virus hoax or a variation on it.  This is
a long-standing bit of electronic urban legend that has no basis in fact.
There's nothing to ignore, because the virus does not (and could not) exist.

If anyone knows to contrary, please inform me, but I'd say this is nothing to
get strung about.
