Hoax Slayer
"If you get a message saying "PenPal Greetings" do not open it. It contains a virus which will delete all the information on your hard disk, it will steal your girlfriend and tell your mother you haven't ...." Well you've probably seen these in the past. Ask the people who send you these messages to check out this page, before they flood the net with messages that are mostly worthless. It has a useful list of virus hoaxes. An important resource.
