Another batch of virus hoaxes is circulating.  Let me assure you that:

  * The FCC does not issue virus warnings (and in fact does not
    regulate the Internet at all);

  * Viruses do not spread by email;

  * Tremendous amounts of time and money are wasted by people who,
    in a panic, spread unconfirmed virus warnings.  

That's what pranksters are counting on; they want to disrupt our work
by making us respond to "emergencies" that aren't real.

Your system administrator can answer questions about computer viruses.
On this campus, so can UCNS microcomputer support.

Please DO NOT pass along any warning unless you have checked it out.
Even then, emailing to all your friends is NOT the right way to spread
information.  Instead, post the information in a newsgroup such as
this one, so that knowledgeable people can offer corrections if it's
mistaken.
