Information on confirmed hoaxes
There are a number of 'warnings' that spread, usually
through email, prophesising terrible things if you open
certain emails, and urge you to perform certain actions
lest your computer never work again.
The following website has documented many of these hoaxes,
and gives indications on whether they contain any truth
to them. It also documents some real virus threats, and
is certainly worth reading if you have any worries.
