These hoaxes actually take up more space and do more damage than the viruses they're supposed to warn you about. Running a major Statewide system, I get to see a lot of these, and believe me, there is someone out there writing these hoax warnings without a single qualm or twinge of conscience just to piss people off.

If there really is a destructive virus going around, it will normally be a server generated message or else it'll be on local TV, radio, press whatever.
