Information About Virus Hoaxes
For general information and editorials about viruses and virus hoaxes, I highly recommend the Computer Virus Myths Home Page.
The following Web pages are good sources of information about how viruses work and about the dozens of virus hoaxes circulating on the Internet.
- From News.com: Virus hoaxes infect Net
- University of Texas virus hoax page: Virus Alert
- Command Software F-PROT Professional - Virus Hoaxes
- Stiller Research Virus Hoax News
- Cheyenne's Virus page (now Computer Associates): Security Solutions: Virus Clinic
This page lists a good FAQ, a good glossary of terms and a list of known viruses. When it was still at Cheyenne, it had a good hoax page, but that is gone now.
- McAfee Anti-virus: Virus Hoax Information
- Virus Safe Virus Information: ViruSafe - Virus Center
- Dr. Solomon Virus Information: Virus Central
