I got this tip from a co-worker..... This will stop your machine from
sending out an e-mail virus if you have opened an e-mail virus in error.
Make a bogus e-mail account in your address book (I named the bogus
account aaaa so it would appear at the top).
Here is the message he sent to us:
> a unique way to avoid sending out a virus
> through Outlook's address book:
> Make a bogus address in your address book:
> #0000@doesnotexist
> This becomes the first address in your address book. The
> virus tries to send itself to every address in the address
> book the moment it is activated on your machine.
> Fortunately, this bogus address is the first address in the
> address book and stops the virus from going anywhere
> because the message pops up that it cannot find this
> address and do you want to send it anyway. The moment
> you see the bogus address you know what is going on and
