Protect your Address Book

[Rainbow]

Little trick I learned at My new job. Dont know if this is new or old but here it is anyway

This is a thing to put in your Address Book to protect you from people sending viruses to all of the people in your address book...

Do this:

In:
First name: !00000 (Write the exclamation Point and 5 zeroes...)

In:
Last name: !0000 (Write the exclamation Point and 4 zeroes...)

That's all that you have to do. Then click on "OK"...

Then, in your contact list, the first name to appear will be:
!ooooo !oooo

That means that if someone wants to send a virus to your contact list
(address book), the first name has no address. It will stop searching because it won't mean anything, and your address book is protected!:D

Sorry dear friend-That does not work or should I say, works very limitedly. Do not rely on it either. I'll be back with some documentation for it. ;)
