Do You get Email Worm Virus's?

I may have created a fix.

In your Contacts email addresses , place a letter prior to the @ sign, such as( Z@) this will make the address unusable to an email Worm virus, and it will not be able to replicate itself, and send itself to all of your contacts.

When you are composing, after selecting your recipient and it has been placed in your email, just remove the letter placed prior to the @ sign, and send your mail.

    I think it would still send.

    You could add it immediately after the @ sign

    like zyahoo.com zhotmail.com and that would be totally

    undeliverable.

    Your way, it might not send to your contacts but there could be another person with that email address, with the Z.

    Example:

    Your friend : yellowrose@

    Z name : yellowrosez@

    The worm wouldnt go to your friend but it would to the other person.

    If I understand what you mean correctly.

    in all probability no longer. It needs to incorporate some executable code. it truly is why photos are frequently disabled in emails. So consistently be careful of attachments and photos. Emails like this are sent to attempt the handle for validity. maximum suitable just to delete without beginning.
