    3. This morning I received 871 emails, of that number, 726 had the following subjects: Wicked screensaver, Thank you, That Movie, Your application, Your details, My details, Details, Approved. These were sent by an infected computer with the Sobig, mass mailing worm. Please read: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f@mm.html Again, you MUST use anti virus software for your computer. You can use free or paid virus protection. If you are new to computers, here is Rootsweb's tutorial on viruses/worms: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/virus.html In the meantime, don't open mail with attachments. Send them to trash immediately and then empty you trash bin. You can set you filters to the above subjects and they will automatically go to trash. Well, I am off for the day to take my grandson sightseeing and then tonight to a Broadway play, hopefully when I get back I won't have another 900 emails... -- Pat Connors, visiting New York City, listowner Professional Genealogy Researcher http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free.
