I have a question about How do I protect myself against email viruses (such as worms)?:

You can help protect the contacts in your address book. Create a new entry, call it "A Fake" and enter the e-mail as 123@123. Worms will go through the contacts starting at the top, but when they can't get a succesful send it doesn't move on to the rest. The worm will still be on your system but won't annoy others. Can't say it works with all worm types but it has proven useful for me.
