OE Address Book

Hello friends, I once read somewhere that you can put someting or some kind of number as a Contact at the beginning of our Address Book list of people so if i get a virus that sends to everyone in my Add book it stops it from happening. Anyone able to help me out??
Thank you,,Paul D

 

It's propagated poo; a myth!

 

Brett, really, I thought I read it in PC World or PC MAG. Maybe it won't work, but I definetly read it somewhere reputable!
Thanks for the VERY QUICK Reply,,Paul D.

 

More information here.

The "trick" is completely ineffective against any malware which does not work its way sequentially through address books (and the great majority do not!).

 

Thanks Brett, the link was GREAT!!! I guess it would be nice if it was that easy & we wouldn't have so many spread Virus's.
I appreaciate all the help,,
Good Luck,,,Paul D
