TECH: Computer virus warning messages

["Roe,Kevin" <Kevin.Roe@FWCS.K12.IN.US>]

There have been a rash of "warnings" sent out recently, and I know this gets
mentioned from time to time, but please remember to check out virus warnings
before sending them out to anyone.  My favorite sites are listed below.  All
of them have a search feature that lets you enter a word or phrase and find
out whether or not the virus is true.

1. Vmyths.com (http://www.Vmyths.com/)
2. Datafellows (http://www.datafellows.com/news/hoax.htm).  Very stripped
down, but easy to navigate; the pages aren't overly "busy"
3. Symantics (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html)

This is not an exhaustive list, simply a list of the sites I have found most
helpful.

Hope this helps!
