Excellent link, Peter.  Here's one that I visit regularly.

 IBM Anti-Virus Hoax Page

The one thing to remember is that the only way anything can get to your system
is
via an executable file.  There is no way the simple act of opening an e-mail can
harm your system.  If that e-mail contains a separate *.exe file and you opt to
open
that, then you're taking a risk if you don't know the sender or weren't 
expecting
a
file.  But rest assured, you can open your e-mail with confidence, and then 
delete
99% of it like the rest of us. <g>
