This is one of the resons I've never used my address book and have encouraged my firends who have just bought computers not to either, or at the very least, leave me out of them. I have an encrypted txt file with all my email addys on. Paranoid? Who me? l It may take me 30 secs more to get the address in my mail, but hey, at least I know that if I -do- get infected, I won't be sending any back out. Course, I keep my NAV updated and scan all mail before it comes in too.
