Nolan:

This is not exactly an answer to your question, but some time ago, I heard that if you put a phony email address at the top of your address book, it would stop hackers at that point from getting the other names. I may have heard this from someone in our MacGroup.

Anyhow, I put-- Aaron Aaass, email address, Aaassba@ AAS.ASA, near the top of my address book, and nothing bad has happened yet. But maybe I'm just lucky.

As some of you may know, this last week I was victimized by a hacker who got my e-mail address and tried to scam everyone in my address book. My daughter, the computer whiz, advises that I need to install a good virus app -- I'm one of those Mac-users who has always relied on the old notion that "Macs don't get hacked into very often." (Also, I'm cheap.) I know that nothing will provide 100% protection, but I will appreciate any suggestions about what I should buy.

TIA,

Nolan
