Get informed. Stop wasting bandwidth.

Excerpt from Virus Hoaxes web site. http://www.kumite.com/myths/
*********************************************************
           "Mundis vult decipi, ergo decipiatur"
         (the world wants to be deceived, and so it is)

 Read all about computer virus myths &
                      hoaxes

The specific reason why this web site exists. Learn about the
myths, the hoaxes, the urban legends, and the implications of
computer virus myths. You can also see a list of virus hoaxes from A
to Z.

     Latest fad: "combination alerts." The newest chain letters
     combine multiple hoaxes in a single message. One alert warns
people not to read email containing either 'Join the Crew' or 'Penpal
Greetings' in the subject line. Another warns people to delete
messages without reading them if they contain any of four evil
phrases in the subject line. These combination-alert chain letters
grew really popular, really fast...
