Rootsweb has a filter which keeps us protected from these things. This is also why we are not allowed to send attachments on Rootsweb lists. Attachments will bounce back to the sender. Keep your personal virus protection updated. Mine gets new dat. files every few days. Also remember that if you open attachments you can get a virus or worm. Here are some sites where you can check on viruses, worms, hoaxes & urban legends. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/ http://www.datafellows.com/news/hoax.htm Ann McDonald Listowner
