Finally, there are numerous E-Mail HOAXES/WORMS. A Hoax is designed to CLOG up Internet lines. You should keep yourself abreast of the current hoaxes that have been found. DO NOT FORWARD ANY warnings that you received, EVEN if they are from your "friends". By forwarding one of these, YOU are contributing to the HOAX!

Attachments, a/k/a WORMS, that come to you as part of an email from a friend, can also HURT your system. I've had mouse problems for the past 6 months..... once I got my "frog in a blender" .exe program off my hard drive, the mouse problems ceased! One of the most notorious WORMS is the HAPPY99.EXE attachment that I received. When you click on it you see a small fireworks show! It can really trash your hard drive. Please check out the following sites and read about the current HOAXES/Rumors that can affect YOUR computer and CLOG up the Internet!

If you want to HELP STOP these CLOGGING E-mails, HoaxKill will help you do it! It's worked for me!
