Virus Hoaxes & Realities
« on: October 21, 2004, 04:04:35 PM »
Computers are not only now an integral part of our daily lives, they've also become the primary means by which urban legends and other pieces of misinformation are now spread -- everything from "stupid computer user" stories to virus warning hoaxes (and the occasional real warning).
Take a look at This Web Site for information about some of the common critters we run across quite frequently.

You might also want to check out this web site Virus Myths.

My firefox pop-up blocking stopped two pop-ups, so it looks like this site is now using them.

Here's a few more sites that I visit when someone sends me junk mail. I search for the truth and then inform them. Hopefully, someday those who email me will stop sending such junk around.

AND ... no pop-ups on those sites!    :)
