Its bad enough to get a virus but the ones that take control and
automatically resend to everyone in your address book become even more of
an issue.

Just a suggestion/idea passed along from a friend. Go into your address
book and for the very 1st address entry enter a bogus name, such as virus
alert and then have the eMail address left blank. If your system tries to
send out eMails you will get an error message about having a bad address
before any eMails get sent. Seems like a simple and somewhat fool-proof
fix.

Hope this helps the situation a bit.
