This sounds like a new name for an old hoax. Use any search engine (Lycos, Yahoo, Alta Vista etc.) and search for "good times virus"
The following URL is the first one that came up on Alta Vista
gentech.com

Basically it says that you can not get a virus from reading email, but if the email has a file attached, AND you execute the file, AND if the attached file has or is a virus then you can get it.

However, the author or someone who contributed to it, goes on to contemplate that maybe the uncertainty and panic created is in itself a virus :)
