TARGETED Email...

You are talking about fighting off the Hackers. Hackers get your 
Email address from discussion groups, and other means, and then share 
your valid Email address with other hackers. The hackers have their 
own web sites for sharing data. At issue are the File Attachments 
that they send to people on their Email list. These file attachments 
carry virus, and trojans. The virus cause PC destruction, and the 
trojans collect information about you and your accounts, then forward 
this info secretly across the net to the hackers. They even record 
your keystrokes, and screen images, along with the list of sites you 
visit. Once a hacker has installed his Trojan, he sees everything on 
your PC that you can see.  

You have 2 methods of fighting off these hacker Emails. MOST 
IMPORTANT: NEVER NEVER NEVER open any file attachment that is 
executable. This includes file types EXE, COM, BAT, SCR, DOC ( which 
can carry a script ) and others. The only safe file attachments that 
can be opened are TXT and Graphic files.... TXT, GIF, JPG, MPG, and 
BMP.  Bottom line, if the file attachment is not a graphic, then 
delete it.  

However, if your Email address has been passed around long enough, 
then you start to get too many hacker Email's per day and deleting 
their mail becomes a real chore. Then it is time to get a new Email 
address. This is easy if you prepared for it. NEVER let anyone know 
of your BASE Email address since it cannot be changed ( unless you 
cancel your account and open a new account ) Always correspond using 
your allocated 4 or 5 ADDITIONAL email addresses. Most Internet 
providers offer 4 or more EXTRA addresses. Use these for all of your 
Email. These EXTRA Email addresses can be easily canceled and re-
assigned with just a few mouse clicks. Bottom line: Never use your 
basic Email Address becuase it is cast in stone, and cannot be 
changed.
