How does one know that their computer blocked a virus? I have had numerous messages, with no message in sight. Only 'details' shows, and I guess I am supposed to click on that, but I don't

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I just found out that some of my Armstrongs are in Texas, possibly 'masquerading' under the name Narragon, by marriage. :-) Jill __________________ "Gypsy gold does not chink and glitter. It gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark." Gypsy saying

Hi Edie ... I imagine you did receive a virus. Rootsweb will not allow attachments to go through ... ever. Most of the virus/worms out there fake the headers. Some viruses do not have an attachment which is troublesome. The latest ones are especially nasty as they can replicate, mutate and continue to not only do various kinds of damage in your PC, but will activate periodically, do further damage plus send themselves out to people in your address book or to those whose messages you have saved. They are also capable of including bits and pieces of messages and subject lines and sending those forth. Before a virus can enter my machine it must get past my provider which uses a good AV, then through MailWasher (a free program through which I can read, delete or bounce any message), ZoneAlarm (free, too) which has caught virii (but primarily keeps my computer in steath mode when I'm online preventing data from either being put on or removed) and Norton 2003 which automatically goes for any updates each time I'm online. I love Norton 2003. It's the fourth by that company I've used and is the best by far. You should get an external scan run right away just to make sure and keep your AV updated. Once a week is not enough. Daily is best though I've had as many as three updates in a single day when a new virus has been unleashed. As always ... if anyone needs the URLs to those free programs, I'll be happy to send them. I wouldn't get online without ZoneAlarm and I enjoy being able to bounce spam back with MailWasher, when it's sent from a valid address, that is. Good luck! clemi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob and Edie McArthur" <robmc@our.net.au> To: <ARMSTRONG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 4:46 PM Subject: [ARMSTRONG-L] Virus > Hi Everyone, > I think I received a virus this morning.

Hi A*s ... A sultana is a pale yellow dry seedless grape used for raisens and wine. You should be able to find it next to the box of dark raisens ... just look for the picture of yellow raisens. They are very good. A subtle difference. Capsicum is a generic name for pepper plants and can be sweet or hot. Remember Capsaicin (a derivative of capsicum) is the main ingredient in the many authritis ointments rubbed on sore joints. You can tell because they warn you not to rub your eyes until after you wash your hands thoroughly. So whether it's a Bell Pepper or a Habanero, you're eating capsicum, but the real health benefits come from the hotties. Pine nuts are not at all difficult to find. Let your fingers do the walking. However, also look for pinon nuts for they are one and the same. The last I bought was in a plastic bag about 3"x 4" and an 1" thick. If you find you have to buy more than needed, they freeze well. Roast as many as needed and freeze the rest of the raw ones. If you roast all, you can keep them in a jar in the fridge and use in salads, breads or even toss a handful as you mix a meatloaf. If you have a good grocery store, look near the real Mexican food ingredients. If the grocer won't order them for you and all else fails, go online.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Armstrong, Kinser, Frazier Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/kQB.2ACIB/2583 Message Board Post: I am interested in contacting descendants of Isaac B. Armstrong and wife Lydia Kinser. Also brother Joseph Armstrong and wife Martha Frazier. They came from E. Tenn. around 1880 and settled in the Forest Grove and Allen areas of Collin Co. TX. Isaac and Lydia's children were: Anderson, Sarah, John, Elbert, Stokely, and Mary Sarepta (married a Snider). Joseph and Martha's children were: Susan, Robert, Emma, Thomas and Francis. Isaac's family is buried in the Fitzhugh Cemetery and Joseph's in the Allen Cemetery. I have lots of info to share.

Edie, Looks like they were doomed from the start, if the foam was the problem, as there was really nothing anyone could have done anyway. The tiles appear to be the weakest part of the shuttle. They told us that even a finger print could cause a tile to over heat and burn up.

Edie, I guess people forget how many things can go wrong on a shuttle mission. There isn't much of a chance to fix what goes wrong while in space or taking off or landing. They told us, while at the Space Center, that when the shuttle is launched, there is more energy used than the atom bomb that blew up when we bombed Japan.
