Hoaxes attempt to disseminate generally false information by mass e-mailing or chain letters. While hoaxes are usually just
a nuisance, some have informed people that their machine was infected with a virus and advised the immediate deletion of a
necessary file. Therefore, consult a credible source to determine the validity of the information before taking any action.
