Christmas Virus!!!!!! (1 Viewer)

Hi Mr Garrett, that's a very interesting idea but as I have been bitten once I am shy about getting bitten twice, so can you guarantee that once a person gives their email address that it doesnt open up a whole can of worms. I tell you mate, your "its safe", being a free item from the government really smells fishy and I for one would be very wary about getting involved in it.

Your opinion is noted, Tanny.
But I've used this service for quite sometime and never smelt anything fishy!
When forwarding your email address to anything online (like signing up for newsletters etc:), that involves doing so via email or a contact form, make sure to subcribe using the 'text-only' email option that should be available and not html (for newsletters, bulletins, etc:).
Also, subscribe only through a web-based email account (like hotmail. yahoo, or gmail), and do not ever use your Pop3 email account provided by your ISP.
If you do subscribe, requesting text-only emails, then you can't as yet get infected by any virus. As those who waste their time creating such annoyances cannot as yet pass them on through txt!
