MR SOLUTON

IS IT TRUE THAT IF YOU PUT YOUR EMAIL ON THIS SITE
EVERYONE SENDS YOU VIRUSES??!

PLEASE DEMONSTRATE IF THIS IS THE CASE

First, please turn off your caps lock, it is considered, shouting, rude and
it makes your post difficult to read.

By publicly posting your e-mail address anywhere you leave yourself open to
anyone with malicious intent. That said, it is more likely that posting
your e-mail address will get you inundated with spam as most viruses
replicate by sending themselves to all the users in an infected user's
address book in their e-mail client.

Contrary to popular myth, if a person isn't active on file swapping services
and chat, most such people get a virus from someone they know because of how
most viruses replicate as mentioned above. Hence, you are more likely to
get a virus from a family member or other acquaintance and its quite
unwitting as that acquaintance will likely not even know it is happening
until someone who has received the virus alerts them.

In either case, you should always be careful about publicly posting your
e-mail address, here or anywhere.

Hello
Yes that is true, not everyone on here is a good ole boy, like me.

It is possible that you already have one for your CAPS lock seems to be
stuck in the on position.
