Virus hoaxes: As dangerous as viruses?
www.fsecure.com/hoaxes/hoax_new.shtml
This site is produced by F-Secure, makers of anti-virus software.
Elsewhere on the site are descriptions of actual viruses, but on this page visitors can find a list of the 50 most recent hoaxes being perpetrated via the Internet.
When you receive an e-mail warning about a virus, or an invitation to join in some kind of chain letter, you can check this site for guidance.
The “Virtual Card for You” virus? It’s a hoax. The chain letter that earns money for cancer research? It’s a hoax too.
Checking first is an easy way to save embarrassment. |
