WARNING ----------- WARNING ----------- WARNING

If you receive an email entitled "Bad times," delete it immediately. Do not open it. Apparently, this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer.

It demagnetizes the stripes on all your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.

If you drive a Ford, it will start missing like a Chevy.

This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

It will drink all your beer.

For god's sake, are you listening? It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company.

It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all the while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing your Visa card.

It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun when someone loses an eye.

It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings that grossly change the interpretations of key sentences.

If the "Bedtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub.

It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!

You can get a FREE up to date virus check at the Semantec site (Norton Antivirus) , It won't delete any virus but will tell you if you infected. (You can also download Virus busters for the latest ones for free)

Thanks for the warning. I've just been to the fridge and drunk all mine before the virus could get to it!

Molly, I just realized the worse thing it does,

"It will run with your GOOD scissors!"
