Folks, while the list rules forbid posting virus notices, it has come to my attention that some of the subscribers to my California lists are affected with the prettypark virus which behaves like the happy99 virus and are transmitting the virus IN PRIVATE MAIL - NOT ON THE LISTS. It's important that anyone who receives an attachment does NOT open it unless 100% sure of the origin. Run your antivirus software. And if someone sends you an infected email, don't overreact. In almost all cases, they don't know they are affected and didn't do it on purpose. NOTIFY THEM privately and offer the following URLS: http://www.symantec.com/region/uk/avcenter/venc/prettypark_worm.html or > >http://vil.nai.com/vil/wm98500.asp > >This virus is handled in the 4067 DAT package, available at this URL: > >ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x/dat-4067.zip Yvonne Oliver Bowers, Listmom, GenConnect Administratior, Proud Rootsweb Sponsor NORCAL, SOCAL, CA-GOLDRUSH, CA-EARTHQUAKE-L NORCAL Library http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~yvonne/norcallib.html NORCAL Genealogy Index http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~yvonne/NORCAL%20index/ CA-GOLDRUSH Most Wanted: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~yvonne/CAGOLDRUSH/goldrushdigest.html
