1) The following "viruses" are in fact hoaxes (warnings about viruses that do not, or cannot, exist): (Computer virus)
* "Good Times"
* "Deeyenda Maddick"
* "Irina"
* "Penpal Greetings"
* "Join the Crew"
* "Returned or Unable to Deliver"
* "NaughtyRobot".
* "It takes guts to say Jesus"
* "Win a Holiday"
As a general rule, any "Virus Warning" that you receive unexpectedly in
your e-mailbox that asks you to pass the message along (similar to a chain
