Fooling worms infecting your Email programs like Outlook

Fool Mail Worms in Outlook Express

This document was originally created for Microsoft Outlook Express (now called Windows "Live" Mail). The technique can be used in just about every address book or contact list, as the concept is transportable.


You may want to try this to attempt to prevent viral worms from using your email list in Outlook Express to send it to your friends. It won’t stop a virus from getting into your PC (You need anti-virus software, with current weekly updates to do that). But it may prevent its spread to your friend’s mailboxes and alert you to its presence.

Open your Outlook Express Address Book as if you were adding a new friend’s name to it. As a first name enter !000 (exclamation point and three zeros). As a new mail address, enter Worm Alert. (If it tells you that is not a valid address, just say Yes to add it, or OK. Then finish as usual by selecting ADD, ENTER, OK etc. By entering it as !000, that places it at the top of your address list. The worm will try to send a message to that address and, when it discovers it is undeliverable to the bad address ‘Worm Alert”, it will not try the remainder of your list, saving your friends a hassle. The other benefit is that you will receive a message to your inbox that a message to “Worm Alert” was undeliverable and you then know a worm got in and needs to be deleted from your system.

Using REGSVR32 to unload a process

regsvr32 /u "c:\...."

the /u means unload

Here is the goal:
When you've stopped a service
you can now delete the file (assuming it WAS stopped).
If, however, the process is a virus, it will most likely restart immediately. Then, you need a technique to delete the virus.

Cyber bullying is NOT just a different form of "spam".

Cyber bullying is NOT just a different form of "spam".
The goal of spam tends to be financial gain (bank accounts, credit cards).
The goal of cyber bullying tends towards individuals or groups deemed "inferior".

The targets make up the difference:
Spam casts a broad net with an audience of just a few individuals gullible enough to give out personal and financial information.
Cyber bullying has a more personal target - usually someone the offender already knows.

The worst part of cyber bullying is that the evidence remains permanent - residing on web sites, on forums, within social programs like face book.
Sadly, the internet is not patrolled. It is next to impossible to find the "owner" of the media and remove the "graffiti".

What can be done?
The administrators of each web site must be held accountable for the content.
They must be accessible and responsible.
There needs to be a method, be it "human approval" or programmable scanning for harmful posting.

And the poster, the offending cyber bully, must be charged. It is a crime. There is damage. And they must be held accountable, no matter what their age.

If nothing else, we all need to be aware of the harm that can be caused by "alphabet crimes".
