This is not the first time I've heard of an alert for Good Times.
Apparently it is impossible for an internet bug to access your hard disk,
and there is no need to worry.  E-mail messages are not executable files,
and cannot affect your computer.  It's a different thing if you retrieve
some file by ftp and then run it on your computer, but this doesn't happen
with e-mail files.
