Computer Virus and Hoaxes

Now and again we are faced with virus problems and also email messages containing text regarding threats to our somewhat peaceful existence as humans. There are some great sites which you can quickly check to confirm or disregard such threats and hoaxes. I would recommend before passing on any threatening messages or viruses to friends or family you check the following sites. It is also important to remember when using email not to open any attached files from people who don't normally send you email. Check the following sites first, then if you are sure the attachments are safe, open them.
