Since it seems that from time to time someone posts a virus warning to
CONCH-L, I thought it might be appropriate to post this.  The message is,
"look before you leap" (to conclusions).

Virus Hoaxes
 
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
