<< Reader Alex Censor has devised a neat trip wire of sorts that protects your e-mail contacts from infection and stops a virus in its tracks: Create an invalid entry in your Outlook or Outlook Express address book. Enter a bogus first and last name starting with a non-alphanumeric character ( *virus-trap, for example). Enter <illegaladdress as the e-mail address, being sure to include the less-than symbol. Outlook and Outlook Express will alert you that this entry is not a valid e-mail address (it's not supposed to be) and will ask if you still want to add it. Click Yes and then OK.
When a virus tries to mail itself to the addresses in your address book, this will be the first entry it encounters. The mail server will reject the fake address--and probably all other addresses in the message's 'To:' and 'cc:' fields. Some servers may send the message to the valid addresses, but you'll be alerted when the bogus address bounces. >>
Takes like 30 seconds so it's the least you could do to protect yourself and everyone in your address book.
