Editing Goodtimes virus (section)

==History==
The first recorded email warnings about the Good Times virus showed up on 15 November 1994.<ref>[http://fgouget.free.fr/goodtimes/goodtimes.html Good Times Virus Hoax FAQ, dated 12 December 1998, last retrieved on 13 March 2008]</ref> The first message was brief, a simple five sentence email with a Christmas greeting, advising recipients not to open email messages with the subject "GOOD TIMES!!", as doing so would "ruin" their files.   Later messages became more intricate.  The most common versions—the "[[Infinite loop]]" and "[[ASCII buffer]]" editions—were much longer, containing descriptions of what exactly Good Times would do to the computer of someone who opened it, as well as comparisons to other viruses of the time, and references to a U.S. [[Federal Communications Commission]] warning.  The warning emails themselves usually contained the very subject line warned against.
