To Avoid Virus

[Guest guest]

Presently people are having a big problem with a really intelligent worm virus

in .This virus usually reaches a mail box some way and then tracks

the ids with the word "group"

and send mails with subject lines usually of a forward which is already present in you mail box.

This virus is intellegent is becausee of two reasons

- It sends mails with virus to groups by searching for the word "group" in its

address book or inbox id's

- It takes the subject line of any mail with "FW:" in it and sends it across to

the groups and the sent mail is not even seen in the sent items box.

Suggestions [generic for any virus infected mail box]

1) Create 2 mail ids in address book one with name: !0000

( so that it wil be the 1st contact, and should not enter any email address for that)

and another with ID: aaa (AT) aaa (DOT) com this creates confusion to any normal virus in

the first try of its sending the mail itself!

2) Create another id in address book with id: aaaaabcdnothing

this will prevent the new virus from spreading to other groups

coz when it tries this id it restarts trying and will end up

in retrying for this id countless number of times thus preventing from spreading

to some other mail box or groups.

This is a simple way of preventing viruses from spreading to other mail boxes

Thanks a Lot for taking time to read this mail.

Forward it to all your friends, to avoid spreading of Virus and Worms!!

bye and take care
