NOTE FROM KIM:
One company has devised a new technology to detect and
quarantine malicious e-mail.


The Top 6 Other Ways
to Stop Worms and Viruses


6> Forward all your e-mail to Bill Gates. Not only will this make sure your mail is safe, but you’ll also get $1,000 and a free trip to Disney World.

5> Allow viruses to install themselves at will, in the hope they’ll kill each other off.

4> Develop a cure by extracting stem cells from applets. (liberals only)

3> Kill your mouse in case it’s carrying the bubonic plague virus. (conservatives only)

2> Take a lesson from the geek dating handbook: If you never connect with anything outside your room, your computer won’t catch anything.

and the Number 1 Other Way to Stop Worms and Viruses…

1> Introduce your computer to dirty, filthy material to build up resistance. In fact, that’s exactly what I was doing at the time, your Honor.
