Or you can check various sites online and figure out these are virus hoaxes that have no basis in reality.

The "Virtual Card Virus" is definitly a hoax and is described on Symantec's site.

I didn't find any listing for a virus called "California" except for one called "California IBM" and it's a hoax too.

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/california.ibm.hoax.html

These hoaxes are as bad as the chain letters we all get. Before you go spreading around this BS, everyone please check to see if they are hoaxes ... the Symantec site is one of the best, but there are several out there.
