YES, it DOES matter if it is a hoax.
Virus software is not always exactly up-to-date with respect to wild virus
attacks, and some programs are better than others for specific problems.
This true even if one keeps the software absolutely up-to-date.
Therefore, if a new virus is on the loose, I want to know about it. Then --
check if it is a hoax.
