If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," 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 Chevy, it will start missing like a Ford or Dodge.
It will program your phone auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's
number. 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 "Badtimes" 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!
