Confessions Of A Virus Victim
from the i-didn't-mean-to-do-it dept
An amusing article written by a computer columnist who had never received or passed on a virus… until yesterday. He confesses the mistakes that he made in not catching it and what happened as he passed on the virus to all those people in his address book. He also shows what he’s doing now to prevent it from happening again including using much more updated virus software. Am I the only person in the world who actually doesn’t use the address book feature of my email client?

Address Books
Not only do I not use the address book feature, but I dont run on a system that will allow crappy viruses to propagate in this fashion!
Nope.

Call it a hunch, but I don’t think nerds are really the target group for dizzyingly simple “virus” attacks such as these. As always, it’s the ham-and-egg user, and as always, it continues to work.
