Alternative Answer for Computer Viruses

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

I received that same web-link in my other too!

 

It could have been propagated by unsuspecting folks who opened that

link, activating a forwarding mechanism to send it to everyone in the

address book, much like a computer virus. We can only hope it is not

harmful to your PC!

 

Hmm... if that is really what it is, I do have an Alternative Answer

to prevent this type of 'virus' from spreading! ;p

 

Simply add a New Contact in your address book, with all the main

columns filled with 'zeros' (as in " 000 " ).

 

That will create a 'dummy' entry at the beginning of your address

list, stalling any viral attempts at forwarding to the rest on the

list.
