Internet Hoaxes

[Vicki Mills]

Dear SEELangers:

There is a very useful website at http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html
that lists all the false warnings of evil viruses that will wipe out your
hard drive, including the one for AOL that was recently posted to SEELangs.
The site also includes some tips for determining when these messages are
genuine and when they represent hoaxes.

Best regards,
