This is the worst virus announced by CNN, and has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday. There is no possibility of repair for this type of virus. It simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk. Remember: if you send this information to your contacts, you will protect us all.

This particular hoax has been around in some version or another for ages. It's quite simple in that it's usually nothing more than a block of text, often poorly formatted or with spelling errors, informing you that there has been a change to the privacy policy of one or more of the social media networks you use, and that if you don't act soon, all of your photos, videos, and other personal information will be made public.
Typically, when one of these hoaxes comes out, it spreads like wildfire around the internet before the company in question needs to come out and debunk it. This happened very recently on Instagram. It's unclear why this hoax keeps working, and what the person responsible for starting it is hoping to gain except for getting people all worked up.
But whatever their reason, people keep falling for it, turning this into one of the most durable internet hoaxes of all time. Charge an iPod With an Onion. A good hoax delicately walks the line between absurd and believable. Something too ridiculous will turn people away, but something too normal will not convince people to pay attention.
Perhaps no other hoax in internet history has achieved this balance more than the "How to Charge an iPod With an Onion. Posted as a video from a well-known site that had done hoaxes before but that had also published a good amount of legitimate content, this hoax provided people with instructions on, yes, charging iPods with an onion. The video demonstrated that if you poured Gatorade over the onion - to load it with electrolytes - and then plugged the USB end of your charger directly into the onion, you would be able to charge your device.
In the video, you see the USB plugged into the onion, and then you are shown the flashing lights on the iPod screen which indicate it's charging, although it's much more likely that this was taken from an iPod plugged into an outlet. This hoax reminds us how the absurd if described plausibly, can seem more believable. Countless people plugged their iPods into an onion to see if they could get a charge, but no one did. Some even reported damage to their device as a result of plugging it into an onion soaked with Gatorade.
Imagine that. Hercules the Horse-Sized Dog. A fun, harmless hoax that reminds us all how some good Photoshop work can turn you into an internet sensation. The image in question shows a woman walking with a horse and then another woman walking with "Hercules," who is said to be the world's largest dog.
The claim was that Hercules was a pound English Mastiff who was as tall as a horse. As you can see, the image looks quite real, and it fooled millions into thinking this massive beast was roaming around somewhere, the leash held onto by someone with a death wish who could never hope to stop Hercules if he decided to move quickly. However, further analysis of the photo has revealed it to be a fake.
The convincing factor? The dog in the photo, if it were genuinely that big, would have to weigh close to 2, pounds, a simple impossibility. Interestingly, there was a dog named Hercules who was once named as the world's largest dog by the Guinness Book of World Records. But it was not the same dog as the one in the photo, giving further evidence to the claim that this photo was doctored to make the dog look much bigger than he actually is.
Manti Te'o's Girlfriend. People fall for internet hoaxes all the time, but when a celebrity falls for one, it calls them to our attention and reminds us how easy it is to get tricked on the internet. A great example of this is what happened to Manti Te'o, a star linebacker for Notre Dame in As far as Te'o knew, he'd been involved in a relationship with a woman named Lennay Kekua from his home state Hawaii.
Away at school, Te'o rarely saw "her" except for the few visits he made back home in between his busy football schedule. All of this seemed normal until when Kekua was alleged to have been in a near-fatal car accident, was diagnosed with leukemia, and then passed away.
Te'o was distressed, but shortly afterward it was revealed in the press that Kekua had never actually existed. Her social media accounts were fake - the photo used on her Facebook profile belonged to another woman - and the person Te'o had been meeting in Hawaii claiming to be Kekua was actually Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, an acquaintance of Te'o who had set out to mess with his head by inventing this personality and maintaining a bogus relationship.
This is a perfect example of "don't think it can't happen. But this just goes to show you the lengths some people will go to trick people, and how easy the internet can make it for them. The Derbyshire Fairy. Perhaps more a case of wishful thinking than true gullibility, the Derbyshire Fairy hoax emerged when Dan Baines, a former prop-maker from Derbyshire, England, posted an eBay advertisement for the corpse of a fairy he had found near his home.
Many people immediately identified it as a fake, but quite a few took this claim seriously. Baines received countless emails from people asking for more information about the fairy such as where he found it, if he'd seen it alive, as well as more details about its physical appearance.
Some people even went so far as to warn Baines about the fairy's supernatural characteristics, suggesting he return it to where he found to avoid the danger it could pose. Part of the reason this hoax was a success was because of the authenticity of the fairy Baines created.
As a prop-maker, he had the skills necessary to make something that looked believable. After that, he just needed a story. People's imaginations did the rest. One of the ways scammers and pranksters will try to get you to fall for their tricks is by making it seem like they are someone who carries more weight in society. An email from a random person doesn't seem all that serious, but if it comes from someone such as, say, Bill Gates, well then that's a different story.
The Bill Gates email chain scam is crazy because of how long it's been around. Versions of it have been kicking around the internet since the late s when the web was just going mainstream.
Essentially, the email says that you have been chosen to help Microsoft test a new program and that by forwarding the email, you will be helping them collect valuable information.
