Virus Hoaxes: more URLs

Last time, we mentioned a couple of URLs for checking on virus hoaxes. Readers sent us some additional suggestions - some of which that go beyond virus hoaxes (Thanks especially, David Crandon and Charles Conway):

• CIAC (U.S. Department of Energy) Internet Hoaxes and Internet Chain Letters.(
• Current Internet Hoaxes
• Computer Virus Myths
• CERT Coordination Center (lists avariety of security matters)
• Urban Legends References Pages (although you may have some trouble locating what you want amidst all the other non-Internet material posted there).

Charles also notes: "If you receive a message that is a verified hoax you can forward it to hoaxkill@hoaxkill.com and all enclosed email addresses will be notified (duplicates removed) so they can stop forwarding it. If you're not sure if it's a hoax, forward your email to hoaxcheck@hoaxkill.com and they will check it out for you (for free)."
