As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book, and sends itself to everyone inthere, thus infecting all your friends and associates.
This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but
it will stop the virus from using your address book to spread further,
and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has entered into yoursystem.
Here's what you do:
First, open your address book and click on "New Contact," just as you
would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses.
In the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in
"A".
For the screen name or email address, type AAAAAAA@A....
Save and Close the new entry.
Now, here's what you've done and why it works:
The "name" "A" will be placed at the top of your address book as
entry#1.
This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. But, when it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA@A...,
it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you
entered. If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends will not beinfected.
Here's the second great advantage of this method:
If an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified of this in your Inbox almost immediately as a Mailer Daemon. Hence, if you ever get an
email! l telling you that an email addressed to AAAAAAA@A... could not
bedelivered, you know right away that you have the worm/virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of it!
Forward this mail to all your friends and take the first step inensuring a virus free web. If everybody you know does this then youneed not ever worry about opening mail from friends
