OT changing settings (was more viruses)
Haven't had the problem, probably due to the simple fact of my forging my
email address on all newsgroup postings. I use Outlook Express, and if anybody is interested this is how to change your email reply address: In your mail window go to Tools: Accounts: then click on 'news' tab Fill in the boxes w/something that is NOT your email addy. Some people put a fake one under "email address" and the real one under the "reply to" address. The theory is that the email address harvesting bots only harvest the "email address" and not the "reply to" address -- I have no idea if this is accurate. Every NG I post on has threads about this virus thing and people being bombarded -- I haven't gotten one of these particular virus emails and I'm sure that's due to my email addy being completely useless. Some people also just simply put their email addy in a signature like: suchandsuch (at) somewhere (dot) com - again, in theory the bots don't recognize that. But you have to remove it in that tools option or your screwed :-) LeeAnne "KenCo" wrote in message ... anyone else getting emailed (bogus) updates from Microsoft? dont even think about using them, there all viruses.
