try this
I have used a computer trick that's ingenious in its simplicity.
As you know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads
straight for your email address book and sends itself to everyone in there,
thus infecting all your friends and associates. This trick won't keep the
virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your
address book to spread further and it will alert you to the fact that the
worm has gotten into your system.
Here is what you do: first, open your address book and click on "new
contact" In the window where you would type a new first name, type in
!000 (that's an exclamation mark followed by 3 zeros). In the window below
where it prompts you to enter the new email address, type WormAlert.
Then complete everything by clicking add, ok, etc.
Now, here's what you have done and why it works: "the name" !000 will be
placed at the top of your address book as entry # one. This will be where
the worm will starting an effort to send itself to all your friends. But
when it tries to send itself to !000, it will be undeliverable because of
the phony
email address you entered (WormAlert). If the first attempt fails (which it
will
because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and your friends
will not be infected.
Here's the second great advantage of this method: If an email cannot be
delivered. you will be notified of this in your InBox almost immediately.
Hense, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to
WormAlert could not be delivered, you know right away that you have the worm
virus in your system. You can then take steps to get rid of it!

Hello, This is sweety.bhalla.
How are you?
Today I was going through a web site by the name of www.womans-era.com,
which is a web site for Woman's era, India's Premiere Women's English
Fortnightly. While I was going through the web site I clicked on a link
"Evaluation Copy in PDF Format", and downloaded the whole evaluation
issue in PDF Format from there, which came in five small capsules.
What caught my attention was the variety of topics that were covered in
the magazine. It also has a good visual quality, which looks quite real.
I must say that I haven't seen a magazine before that has been placed so
well on the Internet.
Now I am planning to subscribe Woman's Era in PDF Format forever and for
this I'll just have to pay one small amount in the beginning.
I will suggest you also visit the site www.womans-era.com
<http://womans-era.com/> and check out the quality of the evaluation
copy and try to subscribe it if you find it worthwhile.
