There are a number of viruses around at present, one in particular is the Badtrans virus that can catch subscribers to mail lists because it *appears* to reply to list postings, has a list relevant subject line and has an attachment If anyone receives a private reply to any posting to this list that contains an attachment, do not open, inform me and I will temporarily unsubsribe the offending subscriber until their PC's are clear. Remember these viruses are not being sent via Rootsweb but from an infected subscribers own hard drive after they themselves have unknowingly opened a virus attachment Often people are entirely unaware that their system is affected so please do not *denounce* anyone publicly Do not open any attachment unless you KNOW it is virus free. - Keep virus protection up-to-date. - Do not post warning messages about viruses to the list, send them onto me instead Caryl Williams List Owner
