On Thu, 12 Jan 1978, Bytz waxed lyrical:
>Subject: New Virus
[snip hoax virus warning]
See
http://service1.symantec.com/sarc/sarc.nsf/html/Virtual.Card.for.You.html
for details.
Pretty much anything that contains lame links to http://www.microsoft.com or
http://mcafee.com is likely to be hoax.
A real warning would give you specific references rather than try to direct
you to the Microsoft homepage, which simply tries to imply that the hoax is
genuine.
In general always try to search a virus database before passing these
warnings on. Most that ask you to send the message to everyone in your
address book are rubbish designed to make you send yet more mails. Sort of a
manual .vbs virus if you like :)
