To All,



This little trick may help stop the spread of worm virus.

"May be this may help your subscribers last week."

As you may know, when & if a worm virus gets into your computer it
heads straight for your email address book and sends itself to everyone in
there, thus infecting all your friends and associates. This trick won't
keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from
using your address book to spread further, and will alert you to the fact
that
the worm has invaded your system.

Here's what you do:

First, open your address book and click on "New Contact" just as you
would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses.

        In the window where you would type your friend's first name,
        type in  !000  (that's an exclamation mark followed by 3 zeros).

In the window below where it prompts you to enter the new email
address,

        Type in...    [log in to unmask]

        Click "Save" and close.

Now, here's what you've done and why it works: the "Name" !000 will
be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1.

This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself
to all your friends. But when it tries to send itself to !000,
it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you
entered  ([log in to unmask]).

If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address),
the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected.

Here's the second great advantage of this method: if an email cannot
be delivered, you will be notified of this in your Inbox almost
immediately.

Hence, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed
to WormAlert could not be delivered, you know right away that you have
the worm virus in your system.

You can then take steps to get rid of it!

I have used this an it works!
