There may be a single instance of a virus that can be tripped up this way, but certainly, the overwhelming majority of viruses will be undeterred by this.
A while back (say 2 months ago), one of the ladies posted a method of tricking viruses by adding a bogus email address to your outlook address book. I forgot the exact steps and can't seem to find the post. Can someone help me please? Thx in advance.

to add a phony email address to the very first record in your address book under the premise that a virus will quit sending from your address book when it discovers a bad email address.
I haven't tried this approach, but frankly I can't imagine that this would work. If it was this easy to stop a virus dead in it's tracks then every PC and server in the world would ship with a bad email address in the top spot in the address book.
Norton and all the other virus protection companies would be out of business if we could stop virus' by simply adding a dummy email address.
And if a techno weenie is smart enough to write a virus that can bring an email system to it's knees, they are certainly smart enough to make the virus continue working despite the presence of an invalid address.
There are numerous other technical reasons why this theory doesn't hold water.
