Virus encyclopedia

When you receive an e-mail from a friend, warning you about a dangerous computer virus, THINK before you forward the message to everyone you know.

Is this a real virus or a HOAX?

Symantec has a helpful virus encyclopedia that lists both real viruses and hoaxes. You can find it here.

Even if the warning comes from someone you know and trust, don't just forward it to everyone you know. Please check the list first. It's quick and easy and your friends will thank you for not wasting their time.
