  This site has a quiz to test your knowledge of cybercrime. The quiz provides 
the answers, just click on the red word answer after each question. I missed 2.
  I have also attached a file from 'Symantec' concerning a Hoax.
  The hoax instructs you to delete all the files from your hard dive in order 
to save your system, in effect making you the bug.

Discount Virus Hoax

Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.

Discount Virus is a hoax and should be ignored. The following is an example of the email text:

This computer has just been infected by the Discount Virus.
Due to budgetary constraints we have had to let our programming staff go. We are counting on you to use the honor system.
Please erase all of the files from your hard drive and then send this message to the first 50 people on your mailing list.
