Dear listers, This is a friendly reminder to please make sure your anti-virus software is up to date. We should all be doing a DAILY virus scan on our computers. Although you cannot get a virus via Rootsweb mail lists, if you are in the address books of list members, family and friends, you may receive a virus. You can do a free Virus Scan online at: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ The free scan certainly does not "replace" having anti-virus software installed and "up-to-date" on your computer. There is another Virus that is spreading rapidly and I urge you to please be careful with emails containing attachments, even from people that you know. If you are not sure, ask the person if they have sent you an email attachment before you open it. Some of these Viruses "fake" the sender and the subject line may look like it is from a mail list. Remember, a Rootsweb mail list message will never have an attachment. Please read the info at the link below on the latest threat. A lot of it may seem like garbbly-gook and it is long, but read it anyway, especially the sections about what subject lines and file extensions this virus uses. It may save you a headache later.
