How come not everyone got it, did it depend on the x-mailer you are using? At 02:59 AM 12/18/96 -0000, you wrote:

There was an e-mail sent to the list that had attached to it a virus. Well lucky me I got. It was a .com file that apparently turns your files into directories. I can't boot into Win95 since it turned my HIMEM.SYS into a directory. So, I seem to have fixed that, but now it says "access denied" and then prompts me with C:\>. Did anyone else get it? Has anyone heard or fixed this virus?
Yes. It's a deadly mutation of the GOOD TIMES virus.
(People actually go to the trouble of stripping off the leading crap from the uuencoded part and then *run a program* from someone called Fuck@yourself.up? Furrfu.)
