A virus hoax is a false warning about a computer virus. Typically, the warning arrives in an email note or is distributed through a note in a company’s internal network.
These notes are usually forwarded using distribution lists, and they will typically suggest that the recipient forward the note to other distribution lists.
If someone gets a message warning about a new virus, they can check it out by going to one of the leading websites that keep up with viruses and computer virus hoaxes. If someone sends them a note about a virus that they learn is a virus hoax, they should reply to the sender that the virus warning is a hoax.
