The mother of all hoax warnings about e-mails carrying viruses was the
"Good Times" hoax.

This is documented at:

and though it is over three years since "Good Times" last surfaced, the
simple explanatory text is still worth reading -- especially for those

There is a fuller FAQ on "Good Times" available at:
