This is something you will want to check. If you use Internet Explorer, open it. Click Help on the menu bar, then About Internet Explorer. The version number appears near the top of the dialog box that appears. This is another worm, like Klez, that fakes a return address so that if your virus software identifies a virus, it's likely to point to a bogus sender. Susan -------- Permission to reprint articles from RootsWeb Review is granted unless specifically stated otherwise, provided: (1) the reprint is used for non-commercial, educational purposes; and (2) the following notice appears at the end of the article: Previously published in RootsWeb Review: Vol. 5, No. 40, 2 October 2002. 1a. Be Careful Out There. The Bugbear is no teddy bear. It is an e-mail worm containing backdoor components that can allow an infected system to be remotely compromised; it also includes the ability to kill antivirus and firewall software, leaving infected systems wide open to further attacks and lulling you into a false sense of security thinking your system is virus-free. Genealogists have much more interesting things to do than deal with an Internet worm with a Trojan horse, but such is life online. Bugbear, which hit Great Britain and Australia users first on Monday, September 30, according to news reports, is also known as Tanatos. It arrives via e-mail with no distinct characteristics except that the attached file is always 50,688 bytes long. The subject line and text are stolen from existing e-mail it finds on an infected machine. Many RootsWeb users are expressing concerns about this latest varmint because unless you pay extra-careful attention you might think an e-mail with the attached Bugbear worm is coming from a trusted genealogy friend, family member, or from your favorite Mailing List. RootsWeb's Mailing Lists do not allow any attachments, but that doesn't mean you won't receive something that will fool you into thinking the message is from a RootsWeb Mailing List. This is one clever worm. There are confirmed reports of Bugbear even forging some prepends commonly used on many of our Mailing Lists. If you receive e-mail with an attachment that appears to be from say [SURNAME-L] and you are not subscribed to that Mailing List, that is a good indication that it is a message with the Bugbear worm attached. Even if you are subscribed to a certain list and there is an attachment, do not open it. Many of us are still fighting off the Klez worm, which steals and forges our e-mail addresses and subject lines, and now along comes Bugbear and the Opaserv worms. The latter is a network worm that was discovered September 30 also. Are you at risk? You certainly are if you are a Windows user, and especially if you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or 5.5 browsers and have not applied the patch found in MS01-020. [Note: Copy and paste carefully; this is a 2-line URL:] http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ MS01-020.asp?frame=true According to CNET News.com, a flaw in MIME (the multipurpose Internet mail extensions) lets a malicious program attached to an e-mail message execute (start) when the text of the message appears in Outlook or Outlook Express (popular e-mail applications). The software problem was patched by Microsoft almost 18 months ago, but it is obvious that many genealogists have not updated their computers. Don't know what version of Microsoft Internet Explorer you have? Launch the browser, click on the Help menu and select About Internet Explorer to find out. To prevent infection, Windows users be sure your system is current: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/default.htm and everyone should update their antivirus software and refrain from opening any attachment unless the sender confirms that he or she sent it to you. The major antivirus (AV) software companies have updated their files to include protection from Bugbear -- but you need to be sure your AV is up-to-date. Moreover, don't rely exclusively on your AV to protect you from every virus or worm that comes along. If you use Outlook or Outlook Express for your e-mail application, be sure to set your VIEW options to show attachments. In Outlook Express make sure that the Preview Pane option is off. In Outlook, under VIEW, turn off the Auto Review and the Preview Pane. Some e-mail clients treat Mailing List digests as separate attachments, but those will always have the Mailing List digest request address as the FROM address and they will have the digest volume and number in the subject line. However, be wary, if attachment is exactly 50,688 bytes, it probably is the Bugbear.

They split up and Seferino took the child they had ,which was my grandfather and brought him to be raised with his relatives in Tercio, Colorado. I think she might have stayed in Walsenburg or possibly remarried. Could have been in her mid thirties in 1880. Any little info would be a great help. I found a baptism for a Jose Jacabo Trujillo in the church records in Walsenburg listing Estefana and Seferino as the parents living in Cucharas.

o While shopping in an antique store in Fredonia, Chautauqua County, New York on Saturday, 31 August 2002, I found two wonderful Bibles which had belonged to the DUTTON family. The genealogical information is extensive, extending from 1792 in New York and New England at least through the 1960s in Arizona. I'm sorry that I didn't have time to copy some details but we were traveling and had some "cemetery tromping" to do before returning to Oregon yesterday, 1 September. It will be necessary to obtain both Bibles to obtain all the data which fills both the traditional center sections between the Old and New Testaments and additional pages which have been slipped in. In addition, there is a beautiful Marriage Certificate complete with a Revenue Stamp. The Bibles are Items #3V61 and 32903 and are on a table about midway along the south wall of the shop.

Geneaholism Caused by Virus H. David Morrow [email protected] Problems with computer viruses have forced me to do other virus research. This led me into subjects besides computers. For example, I found numerous documents, dating all the way back to Sigmund Freud, that clearly indicate Geneaholism is caused by a virus. Freud concluded this after extensive testing on a number of subjects. His first indication that this was not a mental disease came from the fact that geneaholics salivate uncontrollably when passing a cemetery. He concludedthat this was neither learned behavior nor genetically inherited. "Little children," Freud said (in German, of course), "have absolutely no inclination to run about trying to find dead relatives. Such activity in young patients would clearly indicate a genetic defect. This is not the case. Therefore, this affliction must come from something they pick up in the air, like the "common cold." Perhaps, and this is my own conclusion, the geneaholic is sneezed upon by someone at least two generations older. Grandfathers are especially prone to unannounced bodily explosions and could be carriers of the GhV (Geneaholic Virus). Further searching, mostly in libraries while waiting for my wife to finish viewing a census film, uncovered some of the early warning signs of the virus. Gradual behavioral changes must be observed in the subject. For example, a well organized person (neatnick) slowly becomes unorganized, even sloppy (slopnick). The first signs are increasing stacks of documents and papers spread all over the house. At the point these piles appear in more than one room, the GhV is past the early treatment phase. Slopnickism follows contraction of GhV as surely as certain expletives are uttered by a person hitting him/herself on the thumb with a hammer. Early recognition of GhV and immediate treatment must begin as soon as the first room becomes unnavigable due to piles of notebooks, copies of vital record certificates and genealogical computer software. Caregivers (live relatives and loved ones) need not be concerned with catching the virus. Freud himself noted that geneaholism only rarely afflicts two people in an immediate family, although he did report multiple occurrences if more distant relatives are included. Another sign of GhV is often confused with genetic sloppiness. Note: sloppiness and slopnickism are two separate and distinct maladies. One treatment for sloppiness is to let the subject exist with dirty clothes and dishes until he/she decides to clean up. This treatment will not work for slopnickism, as the patient simply does not recognize that there is a problem. Weight loss and sleeplessness are other confusing signs of GhV. Gradual loss of weight comes from the patient spending constant hours in front of a computer reading family name databases instead of eating. Lack of sleep is from laying awake trying to figure out how (and why) great Aunt Tillie wound up in New Mexico when she had children in Kansas, was married in Michigan, and was born in Rhode Island. Absent a doctor who understands the patient's lifestyle, you will probably get a diagnosis of some disease that can be treated with medications or diet. As yet, there is no medication available that treats GhV. However, I have discovered a formula that prevents it from getting worse. No longer will spouses have to face wearing yesterday's underwear inside-out, or having unrepaired gutters and down spouts, or having uncut grass in front of the house. I am willing to sell this formula for a paltry sum, especially when compared to the costs of developing a new drug and testing it. If you know someone with Merk, Pfizer, Bayer or other major drug company, and if you act as a finder for them, I'm sure they will be happy to pay you a few million as a finder's fee. They will probably give you the money as soon as the formula is approved by the Genealogical Health Association (GHA). Failing to find a drug manufacturer, I will have to move to South America and start my own cartel.
