I learned a computer trick today that's really ingenious in its simplicity.
As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer
This trick won't keep the virus from getting
into your computer, but it will stop it from using your address book
to spread further, and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has
gotten into your system.
Here's what you do:
First, open your address book and click on
'new contact,'
friend's first name, type in 'A'.
For the screen name or email address,
Now, here's what you've done and why it works:
This will be where the worm will start
Here's the second great advantage of this method:
Pretty slick huh?
If everybody you know does this
How to protect your email address book
A computer repairman says this is like having gold.
This is a good thing.
it heads straight for your email address book,
and sends itself to everyone in there,
thus infecting all your friends and associates.
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
The 'name 'A' will be placed at the top of your address book
as entry #1.
in an effort to send itself to all your friends.
When it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA,
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 be infected.
If an email cannot be delivered,
you will be notified of this in your In Box almost immediately.
Hence,
if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to AAAAAAA@AAA..AAA could not be delivered,
you know right away that you have the worm virus
in your system.
You can then take steps to get rid of it!
then you need not ever worry about opening mail from friends.
