The hoax I am writing about is the Elf-Bowling Virus. The email hoax stated 
that the Elf-Bowling or Frogapult games contained viruses and they must be 
deleted before Christmas because the virus would be set to go off on Christmas 
day and they would erase your hard drive. Then it went on to state how this 
virus was tested on a computer in their lab and the date was set for Christmas 
day and it erased the hard drive.  For this and other interesting hoaxes visit:
