**HEAVY SIGH**
Yeah, I already knew that. Seems these "social viruses" spread even faster
than the real ones. If I may make a single recommendation to all and
sundry, check with the CIAC's hoax page first before spreading e-mail
messages regarding viruses. They're updated with aggressive
regularity. It can be found at:
http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/
The CIAC is the U.S. Department of Energy's Computer Incident Advisory
Capability website, which has been providing this service since
1995. Their homepage is:
http://www.ciac.org/ciac/
The various antivirus vendors typically get their info on hoaxes from this
site.
Ciao for now.
