E-mail trick NFR

Here is a great trick. Open you address book and make a new contact. For the name enter !000 and for the e-mail address enter WormAlert. If you do get a e-mail worm virus the first e-mail that it will try to send will have an invalid address and it will stop there, then you will get an undeliverable notice with wormalert as the address. This will save your firends from becomming infected and notify you if you get a worm.

It might be good to know a lot of things. Yeah, we all use a computer to access this board, but there are a wide variety of operating systems, computer systems and e-mail clients and they are not all affected by MS Worms. It doesn't take much effort to run a good antivirus program and then you don't have to worry about it at all.
