Useful Links about Virus Hoaxes
Virus hoaxes are viruses of a sort. However, it is not the bogus virus that is the real virus, but rather the message about the virus which people propogate by sending it on to others. The Internet is an excellent medium for spreading rumours of this sort.- Chain Letters: http://athos.rutgers.edu/~watrous/chain-letters.html
