Virus Hoaxbusters
http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org CIAC Team & US Department of Energy While hoaxes do not automatically infect systems like a virus or Trojan, they are still time consuming and costly to remove from all the systems where they exist.

These pages describe some of the warnings, offers, and pleas for help that are filling our mailboxes, clogging our mailservers, and that generally do not have any basis in fact. |
