Here is a tip

If you create in your addres book a contact  with name and last name  " =
******************** " and leaving blank the email address, it seems =
virus will not be able to send.=20

Viruses take your Adress book and include all names in a mail, the =
moment you put an email as I said, the mail will not go out, try sending =
an email with this features and you wil see the message unable to send. =
The reason to use "***********" in the name and last name is because =
astesik will place itself before a or any other character including =
numbers, so it will be the first name of the list, No email will leave =
your computer when the email is left blank. try it, if you cannot, the =
virus cannot either

      I was one of the people who posted who the message was sent to me =
by, but I never placed any blame on this individual specifically, seeing =
as how the new message had an @microsoft.com domain name, and the last =
post I got from him had an @aol.com domain.  I just thought that was =
interesting, and if he saw my post would examine his machine. For all I =
know, the virus could find his user name and assign any domain name from =
a host of known ones and send itself out again. But we will never find =
out if we don't share clues as to the origin of the host.=20
      Even if one of us gets a virus infection from someone on the list, =
it doesn't make sense to blame that individual. He had his guard down =
just like the person who got infected. OK, so you're both negligent.=20

    One could also not use the address book in Windows! I never have and =
have
    never had that particular problem!
