Default Information Week: Seven Fantastic Internet Hoaxes

From: http://www.informationweek.com/news/...wArticle.jhtml

Another notable virus hoax was Irina, which was actually a publicity stunt by a British publishing house that was trying to generate buzz for an interactive book on computer viruses. Instead, it created an international furor -- and warnings about Irina are still circulating today. The investigative Web site Snopes.com called this act "completely irresponsible."
