The email tip that dlstarry noted doesn't always work & may lead some into a false sense of security. Some viruses pick & choose which addresses they take from your address book & don't always "send to all". Sometimes viruses find email addresses in files & folders(temp. internet files?). Maybe they won't spread to you friends, but they continue to spread from your computer. I'll hunt down the link that explains better& post back.
