Virus Hoaxes
Virus hoaxes are false reports about
non-existent viruses, often claiming to do impossible things. Unfortunately
some recipients occasionally believe a hoax to be a true virus warning and
may take drastic action (such as shutting down their network or deleting
files).
Although it is important to be aware of the
viruses that are in the wild it must be pointed out that not all you read
about is true. The list on the left compliments of Sophos shows which of the
hoax messages are currently doing the rounds
