1) VIRUS HOAXES:

>One can determine (for the most part) if a virus warning is real, or a >hoax.

>When you are warned of a virus, and you want to determine if the
>virus is real, or fake (a hoax), you can go to either of the
>following websites:
>
>http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp
>
>http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
>
>These sites are home to specialists who monitor virus reports -
>both real and fake. And they list both real viruses and hoax
>viruses.

2) WORLDSKIP WEBSITE:

>The 25 February Scout Report included a profile of an excellent site
>which provides extensive reference links for most countries in the
>world.

>This new and comprehensive clearinghouse draws together an array of
>reference links for what appears to be almost every nation in the
>world. These are easily accessed through six regional pull-down
>menus.
>
>After selecting a nation, users will find four columns of categorized
>links under the following headings: News, Information and Radio;
>Business, Economy and Government; Travel, Entertainment, People and
>Culture; and WorldSkip Connexion (consumer products). Each of the four
>columns is further divided by subcategory.
>
>Additional links to country profiles, maps, currency conversion,
>weather in selected cities, and translations (primarily European
>languages) are also provided. Conveniently, information gathered
>from other sources is presented on-site, although users will also
>notice a number of advertising banners.
>
>As a whole, the site is an excellent and easy-to-use resource for
>current awareness and basic reference information, especially for the
>smaller nations outside of Europe and the Americas.
