Information Library. This website has detailed information on where viruses come
from, how they infect your system, and how to remove them.
In addition to genuine viruses, the Virus Information Library contains useful information
on virus hoaxes, such as those virus warnings that you receive via email. A Virtual Card
For You and SULFNBK are two of the best-known hoaxes, but there are many others.
Next time you receive a well-meaning virus warning, we recommend you view our
hoax page before you pass the message on to your friends or colleagues.
To access the Virus Information Library:
1 Open VirusScan.
