What's The Deal With Computer Viruses

The Big Computer Virus Hoax

It seems like someone on our staff receives e-mail every week, warning of the next big virus. The e-mail always warns you that if you receive an e-mail infected with this virus, your computer will virtually be attacked and turn into a machine that will seek and destroy! This scenario is not possible and is usually 99.9% of the time a hoax, or a misinterpretation on someone's part.

If you are warned about a virus and want to verify if it is real or not, you can visit one of the many Web sites that keep track of and research computer viruses. Both Norton and McAfee are among companies that have very informative sites on this topic.
