Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Dear all, One effective way to prevent any worms infecting and sending mails through your email is to add three or four bogus email addresses starting with 000 or aaa. In this way, they will remain ahead os all other addresses in your address book. The virus will try to send and resend to these emails, but will fail. For example, I have put following addresses in my address book: 1. !00000 (AT) aaaaaabbbbb (DOT) com 2. aaaaaaa (AT) aaaaaaaa (DOT) com 3. aaaaaaaaaaaabcdnowhere (AT) neverending (DOT) com Because of their alphabetic placement, they remain on top of all other address and prevent other addresses from being misused by the virus.
