I have several e-mail addresses, I started getting e-mails from one address to other addresses, from myself, I checked and had undeliverable e-mail notices there. It was a matter of hours that I knew and cleaned virus out before it had done damage. I don't keep contacts in e-mail address book, I keep them in word doc, I cut and paste from, so it doesn't spread. It takes a couple more clicks to send e-mail, but address book is unavailable to virus. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers? Ban Sober Drivers from Driving.

FYI....THIS IS WHAT A COMPUTER WHIZ-BANG HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS SUGGESTION "The first contact in my address book is “aaa” and has been for 5 -10 years. This email is basically true. The early exploits of this virus did just as described. If such a virus existed today, it may send a message to the whole list all at once. You would certainly get the bounced message warning. Although this may not be very effective any more, it will do no harm to add this address to your list. Today’s email programs and virus checked do so much more for email than they did way back, that you are essentially very well protected." ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |

Viruses can and do still get through, that's why I have no contacts in my e-mail accounts, except for my other addresses. I never send e-mails to myself, but on several occasions, I've received e-mails with myself as the sender, something had to send them. I run daily scans and have second program, that runs weekly scans, if they can get into big computers, they can get to yours. While keeping contact list in seperate program isn't foolproof, it provides another layer. I also have dailup, it's harder for viruses to get downloaded on slow lines. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers? Ban Sober Drivers from Driving.
