email Tips:

aHA

a) always put a subject, be suspicious of emails without a subject

b) add the entry !000 worm@lert into your address book so you will know if you are infected by an email address book virus, if a virus sends out an email from your address book this email will come back “undeliverable” & you will be alerted by this name “worm@lert”

c) empty or reduce the sent & deleted items regularly. If a virus is in one of these folders it can remain dormant until a specific date.

d) Setup and Use multiple email "rules" to delete obvious Spam by using Keywords like viagra or refinance, etc...
