A good way to check hoaxes is on webpage:
 
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
<http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html>
 
If it's on that page, it's not real....

Please, please, do not forward these hoax virus alerts. Basically, if you
had to read it in an email, assume it's bogus. Actually, do not forward
alerts about real viruses either. In terms of wasting people's time and
overwhelming mail servers, in fact it's the alerts that are the real virus.
