First of all, try to find out if it's a hoax. If you are not sure, you can visit different homepages (www.av.ibm.com, www.symantec.com, www.mcafeeb2b.com, www.europe.datafellows.com, https://ciac.llnl.gov .) where you can check the warning message against updated lists of virus hoaxes and of real viruses. If you don't find the supposed virus in neither of these lists there is always an email address given where you can turn to.
The most important point is that you SHOULD NEVER FORWARD any of these false virus alert messages. Send a message to the person who sent you the hoax message and tell him or her it's a hoax. You may also want to point that person to some sites in the Internet which explain virus hoaxes.
