Just to let you know...I am a member of this list. I had subscribed to it a couple of days ago and posted a message about Bollinger and Madison Co, MO Cooks. I became infected with the virus when a Kit Brewer replied to my message (or appeared to) with some attachments. I thought he was sending me something about my posting. Instead it was the virus and mailed itself to all of my address book. So as a warning...It came like a reply to the message I posted. I figure Kit Brewer received it and passed it along the same way I had. I had Grisoft AVG virus installed but it didn't catch it. I downloaded a freebie last night from McAfee and it took care of it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 9:52 AM Subject: Re: [COOK-L] New Bible Records Genealogy Site > Good Morning...I just saw this in my email and looked at the list and > sure enough it has a virus in it.
