FAQ - Virus Alerts -
How do I check the validity of Virus Alert?

 

Question: I received an email from someone informing me about a new "email virus". Is there really such a thing?

Answer: No!!! There are no email text viruses; viruses can only travel through embedded executables, file attachments or hard media. Email Text viruses DO NOT EXIST, despite rumor of their creation and distribution. Although there are thousands of viruses discovered each year, there are still some that only exist in the imaginations of the public and the press. Please ignore any messages regarding these supposed "viruses" and do not pass on any messages about them. Passing on messages about these HOAXES only serves to further propagate them.

The real virus is the the needless time and resources spent on spreading these announcements!  For future reference, before passing along these types of emails, check these sites for information about Virus Hoaxes.
