It is believed that 60% plus of the Virus Warnings in circulation are hoaxes. Further, your anti-virus software may already have a cure for this particular ailment IF it is real.

Even old hoaxes, whi

Examples of combination products may in

Email' schemes? Do you forward them along too, because you do not know if they are true or not, and figure 'why should I take the chance that it is not real?' These 'Get Paid to Send Email' schemes are a fine example of hoaxes that can make the rounds again and again.

For those people who don't know the tell-tale signs of hoaxes, here's a checklist:

IBM/Microsoft/Dell/Gateway have verified this. Does anyone think they care? They don't. If it said Norton,

McAfee or any other antivirus vendor I might listen. If a virus killed your computer or software the above companies would be delighted because you'd have to buy more computers, and they would be delighted to sell you one.

Even if the email proclaims that one of the virus companies is verifying this
