Ole Bob Hi Robert, That is about the silliest thing I have heard of. Are you a programmer? It would take a really sloppy one to fail on that condition. Actually that is done by sloppy programmers, those that work for Microsoft. I don't think it keeps the virus from infecting your computer, only from successfully sending out emails. Apparently if you put that in as an email address outlook express will refuse to send it, saying it is an invalid address and abort the email attempted by the virus. Actually that is not slopply programming, it is the kind of error checking and recovery I wish the Microsoft programmers would do more often. But I don't think it does a thing to prevent the virus from infecting your computer. Also it is my understanding that the has to be the first email address, otherwise the ones before will still go out but since I don't run Outlook, I am really not sure about that. As far as being sloppy programming by the virus author, if you ever looked at viruses they typically use system facilities as much as possible. If they don't then they become dependent on the hardware, version of the operating system, version of the outlook express, and become extremely large. So using the system and program calls to do the work is not really sloppy programming either. And yes, I am a programmer..

Ole Bob Hi Robert, That is about the silliest thing I have heard of. Are you a programmer? It would take a really sloppy one to fail on that condition. Viruses have changed a great deal in the past 4 years. They have become much more robust and sophisticated. The programmers have had plenty of time to whet their skills trying to keep up with all the changes Microsoft has made. They have no trouble modifying the Registry, or disabling antivirus software. If they can do that, a minor flaw in an address book entry is not going to stop them. I really don't think that is very good advise to give people. It probably won't work, and will only give people a false sense of security. Tell you what. I'll email you all the viruses I got last month, and you tell me which ones fail on that entry:) Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

Re: CSVirus and address book
Oh, I dunno. A false address in the mail list will possibly alert you that something triggered the mail error alert. It would make me do a scan at the very least. It's a easy trap to set. That bugbear thingy has tried several times to get me this week alone, so be vewy, vewy cautious out there.

Re: CSVirus and address book
I don't think the 0 Bob talked about will work anymore. I have all my other addresses in each mailbox. (I have 5) If a virus sends to all my list then I will get it in each mailbox. At least I will know I am sending it..

My isp caught 3 of them for me last night and deleted them before they could reach me. They sent me a warning about the three emails. cking...@nycap.rr.com wrote: Oh, I dunno.
