Group,
Here's a tip to help and even prevent an email virus spreading to all the
folks in your address
book. Create a fictitious email address, AAAAAA at AAAAAA_com. Any virus will
always go through your address book in alphabetical order, so it will hit
this
address first, and usually, viruses are programmed to attempt to send
themselves
by email a set number of times before shutting themselves down. With luck,
the virus will shut itself down once its tried this address, leaving
everyone
else unharmed. It also makes it easier for antivirus software to quarantine
it...
