Tip to stop spreading virus


Good way to stop spreading viruses thru email
To avoid spreading computer viruses, create a contact
in your email
address book with the name
!0000
With no email address in the details.This contact will
then show up
as your first contact.
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 the
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 offending (virus) message may then be
automatically stored in
your"Drafts" or "Outbox" folder.
Go in there and delete the offending message. Problem
is solved and
virus is not spread.
