Security, Viruses, Hoaxes >>Back to top>>
With hundreds of new computer viruses (or "virii") created each month, virus warnings should certainly be taken seriously and you should make sure to have
anti-virus (AV) software installed on your system plus update the virus definition files regularly. AV software makers provide those updates on their homepages.
Along with that increasing number of viruses there are also various false virus warnings (Hoaxes) being passed around via email.
On their website http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/
the U.S. Department of Energy has listed many of those false warnings and they also recommend http://www.vmyths.com/
, a virus myth site which is being updated more often. So if you receive a warning, check these pages before you flood your friends' mailboxes and the internet in vain. For a fast overview of the latest virus threats and removal tools see hoax-info.de. The German computer magazine c't also provides anti-virus and hoax information on their page www.heise.de/ct/antivirus.
