What is the best way to determine if an email message warning is a hoax?
from spam experience, spam emails always start with dear sir/madam your bank or someone you are known to, know your name is not sir/madam also they normally have links directly from that email asking for personal info. NEVER give personal info through a link from emails even if you think there not spam. contact the correct site where the supposed email come from online and they normally have a address where you can send your suspicious email. they are hot on this topic now so you should get a reply pretty quick.
What is an email message that warns users of a nonexistent virus?
There was an e-mail hoax that circulated at least as early as 2003, warning users of a virus that passed itself automatically via e-mail and messenger to all contacts in the user's address book. The e-mail message instructed users to search for a file called jdbgmgr.exe, and if it was found on the computer, to select all files found and delete them. The e-mail was very successful, since the file in question is a common Windows file (that is quite legitimate), however, it has a teddy bear icon that makes it look quite out of place for a Windows file. Luckily, deleting the file is not harmful to a user unless they happen to program in J++, in which case the user would hopefully be savvy enough to not fall for this hoax.NOTE: The file jdbgmgr.exe is a legitimate file. It is not a virus, and does not need to be deleted. The e-mail cited above was a hoax. It is quite possible that it is still in circulation.

Always check the sender and only the people you trust. DO not open messages you don't know who they are from OR a website you don't know. Always look at the Subject too, it helps.
