Hello List members, I will be leaving early in the morning (Thursday) for Searcy Co. and the Ancestor Fair which is this weekend. Below I have copied a message from McAfee which I subscribe to. A few days ago there was a Virus warning on our list which turned out to be this HOAX which you can read about below. This is why I always ask that you e-mail me about any warning you receive before sending to our list. Rootsweb has a filter which prevents us from receiving a virus from Rootsweb. That is also why Rootsweb doesn't allow attachments its for your protection. Wish you could all meet me at the FAIR. I know it will be great as it always is. James Johnston always puts lots of time and hard work into this weekend. Happy Hunting, Ann Bohannon McDonald Listowner ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dear McAfee.com Dispatch Subscriber: An email HOAX has been circulating recently that has received a lot of press and public attention. The subject line may contain "***Virus Alert***" or mention SULFNBK.exe. If you receive a copy of this message, you should ignore it. Do NOT pass it on as this is how an email hoax spreads. You may receive a copy of this message from addresses that you recognize. DO NOT DELETE ANY FILES FROM YOUR COMPUTER. There are several versions of this message circulating, in several different languages. The email message may appear in part as follows: "A VIRUS could be in your computer files now, dormant but will become active on June 1. Try not to USE your Computer on June 1st. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHECK IF YOU HAVE IT AND TO REMOVE IT NOW." "No Virus software can detect it. It will become active on June 1, 2001. It might be too late by then. It wipes out all files and folders on the hard drive. This virus travels thru E-mail and migrates to the C:\windows\command' folder." The email will also instruct you to delete SULFNBK.exe and to pass the message along to everyone you know. SULFNBK.exe is a standard part of the Windows operating system and SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED.
