greetings.

these are rather annoying.  perhaps if a new mailing list was made, like,
securityfocus () securityfocus com, or sf-articles () securityfocus com ....

the thing that is perhaps rather annoying, is if an entity subscribes to
the various lists, they receive the same stuff, reworded, or just
forwarded, throughout the various lists, and this article update stuff is
just expounding this, imho.

but yeah, i understand, it's your list, and you'll do what you want with it.

ciao

Howdy Folks,

The following article is now available for viewing on the SecurityFocus
Web site:

Virus Hoaxes and the Real Dangers They Pose

By Scott Granneman

Virus Hoaxes are a fairly common phenomenon. Most email users have
received messages warning of malicious viruses threatening to wreak
havoc on their computers. Many of these hoaxes are harmless fun.
Unfortunately, many pose real dangers. This article will offer a brief
overview of virus hoaxes, how users can spot them, and how they can
protect themselves against them.
