When you receive an email with news which is distressing, or relates a new virus is taking over the world, that also includes a plea to send the message to everyone that you know, please check out those stories before wasting bandwidth by forwarding. There are two links in the box above that will show you the hoaxes. Or you can go to my favorite: Snopes.com
There is another page that will debunk some of the email that you receive. If in doubt of the validity of a story that you get in email, you might want to check out the pages of Symantec.com
