Welcome to my hoax section if you encounter a message about a virus please send to [email protected] or call me on ICQ#22015420 I do not spread hoaxes! these pages are simply to inform other users that they are hoaxes. Please to not spread hoaxes. Hoax warnings are typically scare alerts started by malicious people - and passed on by innocent users who think they are helping the community by spreading the warning. Do not forward hoax messages. There have been cases where e-mail systems have collapsed after dozens of users forwarded a false alert to everybody in the company. Corporate users can get rid of the hoax problem by simply setting a strict company guideline: End users must not forward virus alarms. Ever. If such message is received, end users could forward it to the IT department but not to anyone else.
