In the last 3 minutes I have received 4 attempts of an email attachment with the virus W32.klez.h@mm. The sender was jeasley@mony.com....probably some unsuspecting person who is infected and the virus is sending out to mail in his box. I don't know jeasley but assume someone on one of the 3 genealogy mailing lists is them or knows them. The reason I am assuming this came through a genealogy list and not one of my other friends is that the subject line read "Carolina Deaths, 1979". Unless someone writes back and I know which of the 3 lists this is on, I'm warning all 3 of you and hoping you will check your computer. Hopefully like me you have Norton Virus protection and are ok....a cousin in Michigan was just wiped out by a virus lately and ended up buying a whole new computer. Sharon

The Klez virus has the ability to forge the sender addresses and frequently uses a Rootsweb address. Please remember: NEVER open attachments unless you are 100% certain of source and content. Please do NOT post virus notices to the BRANSON mailing list.

Thanks for the virus alert. I appreciate the heads up EVEN IF THEY SAY NO VIRUS CAN GERT THROUGH. I was told this at work also, they have a firewall and email scaning software - There was still a virus that got through. It happens. Keep the warnings coming! "Yvonne O.
