E-Mail Hoaxes
- "Years before rumors and hoax messages began to appear on Mirabilis's ICQ, e-mail was, and still is, the most common means used to spread false information. On this page you will find examples of some of the most common e-mail hoax letters. Some are mildly amusing while others are just plain deceptive."

Symantec Antivirus Research Center Hoax Center
- "Although there are thousands of viruses discovered each year, there are still some that only exist in the imaginations of the public and the press. This is the comprehensive list of viruses that DO NOT EXIST, despite rumor of their creation and distribution.
Please ignore any messages regarding these supposed ""viruses"" and do not pass on any messages about them. Passing on messages about these hoaxes only serves to further propagate them."
