Don't ever open an attachment, never!! Unless you know the person that
sent it to you!!!!!

Agreed. A wise policy for all.


Thats exactly why most of those viruses uses the email address book so it
looks like an email from a friend.

Even when it appears to come from a friend you should have a healthy look
before opening it.

Worms do that. There's an easy way to prevent that. Make an address book
entry beginning with "!" as the name. Use something like
for the email address. That address is not valid as far as I know. Now make
another address book entry, this time the name begins with "Z". Now if you
get a worm mailer, it will surely start at the beginning or the end of your
address book. When it tries to send to either of these two addresses at the
top or bottom, of the list, you should get a message pop from Outlook
Express or Outlook. I don't know about other mailers but something similar
should happen.
