address book  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">as entry #1.</p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px"></p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">This will be where the worm will start  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">in an effort to send itself to all your friends.</p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">When it tries to send itself to <span style="color: Blue">AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA</span>,  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">it will be undeliverable  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">because of the phony email address you entered.  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">If the first attempt fails  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">(which it will because of the phony address),  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">the worm goes no further  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">and your friends will not be bothered.</p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px"></p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="color: Blue">Here's the second great advantage of this method:</span>   </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">If an email cannot be delivered,  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color:

style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">Hence,  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to <span style="color: Blue">AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA</span> could not be delivered,  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">you know right away that you have the worm virus  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">in your system.  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">You can then take steps to get rid of it!</p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px"></p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">If everybody you know does this  </p></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: Purple"><span style="font-size: 15px">then you need not worry about opening mail from friends.</p><p></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>
