Mysty Wrote: From what I've been getting, it really seems to be coming from Rootsweb - or at least via a bunch of folks who use Rootsweb. I can hardly believe this, but when the stuff comes in from AFHA-D and ARMARION-D and isn't caught, it makes me wonder a bit. Mysty I can assure you that an attachment cannot get thru the Rootsweb's filters. What does happen is that some of the viruses use a "FROM" address that is found in your address book OR in your in-box which then looks like the message came from one of the lists. If you could open the message and look at all of the headers you would see that Rootsweb's address is really not there. One of the newest worms does not come as an attachment but rather is embedded within the message section itself. I've received a couple of those which Norton caught at the download and killed. Rootsweb has added this nasty bit of business to their filters so it also gets killed before the messages are sent out to the list members. Just remember that we can no longer rely on just not opening attachments. You must keep your virus software updated. No matter whether you use McAfee or Norton or one of the other virus software programs you need to log on at least ever 7 days and download and install the latest updates. I had updated my virus software just prior to collecting my e-mail that contained Mysty's spurious e-mail with the virus. The update I had JUST installed was the one that captured the virus. There is an excellent Virus E-Mail list that keeps up to the minute on the new viruses that hit the airways. If you are interested in joining just send your subscribe message to: VIRUS-DISCUSSION-L-request@rootsweb.com. or you can search the list archives thru Rootsweb.

Hi list, I thought some of you might be interested in part of a message I sent earlier today to some TREAT researchers: Hi TREAT researchers, I have just posted an update to the TREAT info out on Worldconnect. The link is as follows: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/~gdtreat2 This is a significant update (at least is terms of the number of hours it took me to input the new documentation) thanks to a large contribution of obituaries by Max Parnell. These obituaries were primarily for TREAT descendants who lived in Marion County and Baxter County, AR after 1900. I have continued to nibble away at my backlog of data entry, as well, so there are a number of other changes on various other lines. Why not just check your particular line of interest and see if anything's new? . . . Til later, Gary Treat __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi folks! I can't entirely vouch for all the statements made by the sender of the message I'm forwarding or the web sites his message points to.

Already, there has been a public outcry in response to this cut, and the Joint Budget Committee has restored just 30% of the state aid for public libraries. More information can be found here: http://www.cals.lib.ar.us/whatsnew/stateaid.htm http://www.asl.lib.ar.us/PublicL/staidpts.htm I just talked to Mrs. Lacy, head of the Jackson County Library, and she said that for the Jackson County Library, the cut in state aid represents a loss of about $20,000 for the upcoming budget year (July 2001 through June 2002.) Many other smaller county libraries, she continued, are in even more desperate need of state funding, and some may be forced to close their doors. Please consider doing the following: (1) If you live in Arkansas, please continue to contact your elected officials about restoring additional funding to the state library system. (2) The Jackson County Library has been of wonderful benefit for those of us doing genealogy. The Library routinely does genealogy lookups free of charge. If you have benefited from the library, please consider a donation to the library to help it continue its top-notch services.

Hi List:--Kathy Hudson, AFHA list owner, suggested I send this to all of you. It's what I sent to her at 1:45 this morning after I'd *finally* cleaned the virus from my system. It's a little jumbled (sorry about that - I was dog tired), but hopefully some little thing will be helpful to someone out there. Oh, by the way. Throughout the entire ordeal, my virus scan never once recognized the infection. It insisted "no virus found." As a way to check the various things I'd tried, I sent myself an email every now and then. When it instantly repeated itself in my outbox *with the attachment* I had *not* attached, I knew I still had it. Y'all may want to try this as a safety measure. And please, please delete every email you receive until you're absolutely sure you're not infected. If you want to save the message, print a hard copy. And be sure to empty these deleted emails from your trash bin (or wherever your system puts deletions). If you have trouble deleting the various files the virus has created in your directories, get professional help. I'm serious. And, if you have no earthly idea where to find these directories, get professional help. At the very least, contact your anti-virus program's support team for help. They'll guide you thru the necessary steps. That's what they're there for. Hope some of this is helpful. Happy virus killing <grin> Mysty shakerag@mtnhome.com ****************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: Mysty McPherson To: Kathy Hudson Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 1:43 AM Subject: Latest virus Hey!!! I'm clean!!!! *Finally!!!* <BBBBBBG> I'm a bit chicken about deleting things I don't know much about in case they're "attached" to something I need to run this blamed machine. But I finally "bit the bullet" and here's what I've learned. Apparently McAfee has all the info - just doesn't yet have the DAT files to download so no way to "catch" it nor to remove it. So - I had to do it manually. The virus is a mass mailing worm. It's name is W32Badtrans@MM. It changes/adds to all sorts of things. McAfee has a good explanation - but assumes a bunch of things. Basically, the file INETD.EXE in the Windows Directory runs the whole shooting match. However, when you try to delete it while in Windows, it tells you the file can't be deleted 'cuz Windows needs it. So - I got brave and went into DOS and deleted it from C:\Windows. It worked!!!! The info about it can be found at http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99069& When they talk about a "registry entry," they're referring to the long thing following that reference: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\kernel32=kern32.exe. I found out you find it by clicking on Start, click on Run, ask for regedit (registry edit). Takes a while to figure that one out, but once you've found it, all you have to do is delete "RunOnce." DO NOT touch anything else. Emails have been piling up madly. Would suggest you advise *everyone* to quit sending emails about "funny files" etc 'cuz all they're doing is spreading this monster around. (I never opened either attachment I told you about last night, but got it anyway. Like I tell folks repeatedly - "I *don't* do *attachments* - period!) Nearly every email I've received has repeated itself - with the dratted attachment - in my out box the very instant the received email opened. What I've done is delete each incoming email, each email in my outbox, and then deleted them all from my deleted box. And, oh, yes. I do not do "automatic send" - I send each email manually. Otherwise everything I'd received would have been on the airways in a heartbeat or less. From what I've been getting, it really seems to be coming from Rootsweb - or at least via a bunch of folks who use Rootsweb. I can hardly believe this, but when the stuff comes in from AFHA-D and ARMARION-D and isn't caught, it ma! kes me wonder a bit. Hope at least some of this is helpful. I've been at it off and on for over 24 hours - and it's about exhausted my last few viable brain cells <groan> I'm off to take about a jillion aspirin to get rid of this gawd-awful headache and get some much-needed sleep. If I can help, just holler. Mysty shakerag@mtnhome.com

Hi Everyone, Apparently, the "Snow White" virus is making it's rounds, again. I just got a message from a counsin on our list that someone on another list got hit with it but his virus protection caught it in time. Make sure that you don't open any attachments with the subject line, "Snow White and Seven Dwarfs" or just "Snow White" in the subject line. It was just a few months ago that I was being sent this e-mail over and over again. I just deleted it and nothing happened. So take care and be sure you don't open up anything unless you know that sender and even that is not a sure thing. An up-to-date virus protection program is a good thing to have. Rhio listowner

And that's about it from the sources I have here at home, Dolores, except for what's in "Genealogies of Marion Co Families 1811-1900." Oh, and by the way, Freck is in Marion Co, not Searcy Co. I know there's been lots of confusion about the boundary - probably because of the Buffalo River and the way everyone bebopped back and forth without a thought as to which county they were in and the fact that (for some reason I'll never understand) there was a Tomahawk Township (created between 1870 and 1880) in MCAR right next door to the Tomahawk Township in Searcy Co. <groan> Looks to me as if we have two separate Raines families.
