Dmon, that sounds like a good idea - nice early warning system. :-)

I've recently removed all of the entries in my Address Book and just choose to reply to a previous message to send e-mail. (Probably being a bit paranoid, but it saves me from worrying).

I'm glad that Norton is so thorough though at catching these darn things before they do any serious damage - it's caught a whole bunch of viruses since it was purchased. One of the down sides of being on the 'net and having a web site is that your contact address is posted for all to see, so if someone wants to spam you or send you a virus it's very easy. I considered Hotmail, but I heard a rumour that they let a couple of viruses through recently, and you only need to get infected just once and BANG goes all your work.

Now, can anyone think of a really inventive way to punish virus programmers?...I still think good old "tar and feathering" would do the trick, or maybe we could take them 'round to the vet and have them "fixed". ;-)

Dave :-)
