Anti-virus software company Sophos has announced a new electronic news service that is intended to assist PC users in deciphering hoaxes from real virus threats.
Called enews, the new service is free and can be subscribed to at the company's Web site, http://www.sophos.com.
Richard Baldy, director of Sophos Australia, says PC users often can't tell whether news of a virus represents an "immediate threat, a low-level background risk, or a hoax".
"enews is designed to provide this information, saving companies money and increasing security be ensuring that they can match their response to the threat," he says in a statement.
