Just an FYI about stopping virus worms from spreading via mass mailings
from Outlook's address book, a variant of this fix circulated last year.
Unfortunately, they don't work. Here's a couple sites that explain why:

A teacher just handed me an email about a fwd rec'd "I learned a
computer
trick". Basically about a worm and how to keep it from infecting your
address book by entering "!000" into the name and "WormAlert" into the
address field. And it stops a worm from sending mail to your whole
address
book.
Has anyone found this in there email box yet? Or seen or know it is a
hoax?
Thanks,
Maureen
