>There is a wonderful and simple way to prevent YOUR computer from
>spreading viruses. You should use this technique on EVERY ONE OF
>YOUR E-MAIL address books.
>
>Most everyone is aware that many computer viruses spread themselves,
>with a program, that directs each computer to send the virus to everyone
>in that computer's e-mail address book, or books.
>
>We all feel bad when we get infected. It is, at least embarrassing, to
>infect
>others. I hear all the time "My company spends a fortune and has the very
>best people protecting us from viruses."
>Hopefully you will spend a moment to protect all those in your address
>books from getting infected by YOUR computer.
>
>Here is how: Just create a NEW contact in each of your address books
>with the first name of 000000 and the last name of 00000000. It doesn't
>matter how many Zeros you use. Then leave the e-mail address blank. This
>newcontact will then show up as your first contact in the list.
>
>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.
>
>Try this and pass it on to your email contacts.
>The more people that use this technique, the less vulnerable we will be to
>viruses that spread in this manner!

This just came in my e-mail.  I know little about computers, but it
seems reasonable.  Any of you knowledgeable guys out there want to
comment on it for the group?
