First, open your address book and click on
'new contact,'

just as you would do if you were adding

a new friend toyour list of email addresses.

In the window where you would type your
friend's first name, type in'A'.

For the screen name or email address,

type

[email protected]

Now, here's what you've done and why it works:

The 'name 'A' will be placed at the top of your address book

as entry #1.

This will be where the worm will start

in an effort to send itself to all your friends.

When it tries to send itself to [email protected],

it will be undeliverable

because of thephony email address you entered.

If the first attempt fails

(which itwill because of the phony address),

the worm goes no further

and yourfriends will not be infected.
