internet hoaxes are mistruths or exaggerations that often attempt to have readers perform some type of preventive action. The preventive action more often than not has a negative effect. Sometimes the hoax will be a warning about a non-existent virus, while the preventative action includes installing a fix that is actually either malware or infected with a virus itself.
