Vmyths traces its roots to a "Computer Virus Myths treatise" first published in 1988. It evolved into the critically acclaimed "Computer Virus Myths home page" in 1995, then it moved to Vmyths.com in 2000. Its name has changed over the years, but Vmyths remains true to its original goal: the eradication of computer virus hysteria.

Vmyths sells the truth about computer virus hysteria. We take no prisoners; we pull no punches. Vmyths refuses antivirus ads in order to maintain its independence, and a legal contract separates our editorial department from our advertising department.
