I am assuming that the question is "what is a scam virus?" A scam virus is usually in the form of an email from someone you may know or not with a title such as VIRUS Alert etc. It will then go on to describe some form of destructive sounding program that will destroy your files etc. One famous one is the teddy bear virus where users we told to navigate to a particular file in their windows system that had a teddy bear icon and delete it. This file was in fact an authentic MS Windows file. My advice is whenever you get an email of any sort like this don't act on it until you have gone to one of the major anti virus software sites (Symantec, Trend, CA etc) and check out their current threat library and their scam virus library. Their are many types of these scams that are sent around mostly to waste time (yours) and to inconvenience the users as well.

This also relates to other scams going around such as the deadly new spider found email etc. All can be found to be scams using a search from your favorite search engine.
