Hi All A friend sent me this excellent piece of advice that I think will benefit all of you and stop any email viruses spreading. Cheers Peter from Sydney Australia Virus Prevention By: Simon Collard - offers a simple solution to spreading e-mail viruses. As Simon says, this won't prevent your computer from being infected, and Anti-Virus protection is a "MUST" if you're on the Internet, but this will help prevent the spread of viruses.) This tip won't prevent YOU from getting viruses (you have to scan those attachments yourself before opening them to do that), but it will stop those viruses from latching onto your address book and sending itself out to others. To avoid spreading computer viruses, create a Contact in your e-mail Address Book with the name: !0000 with NO e-mail address. This contact will then show up as your first contact in your Address Book. If a virus attempts to do a "send all" on your contact list, your pc will put up an error message saying that "The message could not be sent. One or more recipients do not have an e-mail address. Please check your Address Book and make sure all recipients have a valid e-mail address." You click on OK and the offending (virus) message would not have been sent to anyone. Of course, no changes have been made to your original contacts list. The (virus) message may then be automatically stored in your "Drafts" or "Out box" folder. Go in there and delete the offending message. Problem is solved and virus is not spread. Try this and pass on to your e-mail contacts.
