Hello All List Subscribers as I am sending this to all the lists I administer: I know we have been very,very quiet lately and I am sure it is due to the Christmas season. However, I would like to let everyone know about a potential problem lurking. As you all know there have been a rash of virus warnings and in many cases so many that we sometimes become numb to them. I myself have recieved 2 attempts last night. This particular one is listed on the page for virus hoaxes, however: One woman I know received it and put it through her virus scan and it said it was ok. She can no longer use her computer. The 2 I received one was from a list I am not on, and the other was from me addressed to me. On this one the actual background of the message is aqua and there is a link in the middle of it in red letters something regarding StuartMessages and they always have an attachment. The thing is this one will use a subject line that you have recently sent out so that it will be a topic you will readily opened. The 2 I received one had the subject of "marriage lookup"(as I had recently made one) and it appeared to be from the mailing list I made it to. But on looking at it better it was from myself to myself. I deleted immediately without opening the attachment and then emptied my deleted items folder. I am sending this warning to all of you as I know how tempting it is to see mail with a subject matter you have been waiting for in answer to a much wanted query. Please,please check both the address and addressee before opening any attachments. So far these have been limited to some of the state and county mailing lists and I have seen none on any of the surname mailing lists. Just be careful. We all receive a large amount of mail so we need to be aware. Tim Pierce, the Chief Hacking Officer has sent out a message regarding this particular virus within the past week. Debbie Carter
