How can I avoid Hoaxes?
- Set up a company policy on virus warnings: for example: “Do not forward any virus warnings of any kind to anyone other than the person responsible for anti-virus issues. It doesn’t matter if the virus warnings come from an anti-virus vendor or have been confirmed by a large computer company or your best friend. All virus warnings should be sent to [name of responsible person] only. It is their job to notify everybody of virus warnings. A virus warning which comes from any other source should be ignored”.
- Don’t forward chain letter, even if it offers you rewards for doing so, or claims to be distributing useful information.
