Another simple matter is to just use the regular AT for the @ sign and DOT
for the . Then the Bots will not harvest your e-mail address and regular
people can figure your address out. Or you can just change it to anything
you want it to say.

This is the main reason I stopped using a working email address in my
newsreader. i used to use my real name and email all the time (I had
no fear of what I was saying/posting). Now I use a fake
) for everything by default. I got none from this
particualr infection. Though I understand the pain as a day does not
go by that I don't receive viruses in my email. I have a website that
has been translated into multiple languages and mirrored in foreign
countries so worms that pick addresses from pages visited hit me
heavy. No matter what country they start infecting from I get them.

Since yesterday I have received a total of 215 e-mail message that says
it's
"Microsoft Security patch", or Network security patch, or Administrator
mail
notice security update, mail security, postmaster security
notice........ALL
of these have bogged up and bogged down my computer, last nights 45
messages
indicated it was going to take THREE HOURS to download. I left Outlook
open
in the send/receive mode and this morning when I got up, those first 45
messages were ALL that message with that message. I deleted them all.
When
I hit the send/receive button again was when I got another indication
there
were 141 MORE messages and this time it said it would take TEN HOURS to
download them all. Squire went to Bellsouth's webpage and to my e-mail
account and viewed all the messages after we closed Outlooks window and
all
141 (with exception to three) were the messages I've mentioned above. We
deleted them all. These are insidious worm viruses that boogers up your
computer. You've been warned. Please don't flame me for telling you
something you might already know about, I'm just trying to be nice and
let
those that might not know about it. Off to werk...........
