Here is what I've come up with so far in researching Gus Dover: AUGUSTUS SAMUEL DOVER was born December 1865 in Rabun County, GA, and died October 15, 1950 in Towns County, GA (death information lists him as Samuel G. Dover). He married (1) Ellie about 1893. She was born January 1874 in Georgia. He married (2) ALTHA J.. She was born Abt. 1895, and died January 15, 1967 in Towns County, GA. In 1900, Augustus S., age 35, and his wife Ellie, age 26, were living in Towns County, Georgia. They had three children: Lonzo, age 10, Millard, age 3, and Melvine, age 6. His parents lived nearby. In 1910, Augustus was listed as "Guss Paris". He was living in the Upper Hightower District of Towns County, Ga. This was his second marriage, and he first married at age 18 (to whom?). Wife Ellie was born in Georgia, was 36 years old and also married at 18. She had had 6 children and 6 were living. The children at home were: Vinie (f), age 15, Millard 13, Lon 9, Bertha 7, Emma 5, and Grady 3. In 1920, Augustus was listed as Gross Dover, living in Upper Hightower District of Towns County, Ga. He was 54, born in Georgia, and was a farmer. He had a new wife Altha, age 25. The children at home were: Lon 19, Emory G. 11, Homer N. 9, Clyde 5, and Ella G. 2 years and 4 months. Missing were Vinie, Millard, Emma and Bertha from the last census. In 1930, Augustus was listed as Gus S. Dover in the Upper Hightower District of Towns County, Ga. Gus as 64, a farmer, born in GA. He married at 21. His wife, Altha was 34 (second wife). She first married at 19. Clyde was 15, and Ella was 12. Nearby was Lon Dover and his family, and a 24 year old Fred Dover, a farmer, living with his mother Nancy Hall, age 52, widowed. Also living with them was Margaret Hall, age 70, listed as a step grandmother. Who is this Fred Dover (who is probably also the Fred R. Dover who died June 23, 1966 at age 91 in Towns County)? Children of AUGUSTUS DOVER and ELLIE are: i. MELVINE OR VINIE6 DOVER, b. 1894. 2. ii. MILLARD FILMORE DOVER, b. April 05, 1897, Titus, Georgia, Towns County, GA; d. Bet. 1925 - 1930. 3. iii.

DOVER, b. 1911. Clyde and Ella not listed here because I don't know which Mother they belong to: Generation No. 2 2. MILLARD FILMORE DOVER was born April 05, 1897 in Titus, Georgia, Towns County, GA, and died Bet. 1925 - 1930. He married SARAH JANE ELLER. She was born 1898. On June 5, 1917, Millard Filmore Dover completed his World War I draft registration form. He stated he was born April 5, 1897 in Titus, Georgia. He was 21 at the time of completion. He is working for himself at "Tree" Georgia. His wife was Sarah, and he could sign his name. He was tall, slender, brown eyes and brown hair. In 1920, Millard was living at Tate in Towns County, Ga. He is 22, born in Georgia and is a farmer. Wife Sarah J. is also 22. The children are: Wadmore 4+, Cristel 3+, and a son Porlee or Parlee 8 months. Sometime between 1925 and 1930, Millard dies and Sarah J. remarries George Taylor. In 1930, Sarah J. is now Sarah J. Taylor, age 32, married at 16 and living at Lower Hightower in Towns County, Ga. George G. Taylor is 41, and a farmer. George's children are: Velma 15, Opal 14, Leo (f) 11, and George, Jr. 6. Sarah and Millard's children listed as step-children are: Warden 14, Boyd 10, Avery 8, and Montree (f) 5. Children of MILLARD DOVER and SARAH ELLER are: i. WADMORE WARDEN7 DOVER, b. 1915; d.

She was born May 20, 1908. On September 12, 1918, Robert Alonzo Dover registered for the draft for World War I. He was 18, and states he was born May 16, 1900 in Titus in Towns County, Ga. He was farming for his father G.S. Dover in Towns County, and his father was his next of kin. He was medium height, medium build, said he had black hair and "black" eyes.

Here's what I have on William F. Dover and his family (son of William and Alanthey) (direct from my family tree, so excuse the numbers): 132. WILLIAM FRANKLIN5 DOVER was born August 06, 1854 in Lumpkin County, GA, and died March 07, 1937 in Forsyth County, GA, burial Salem Baptist Church. He married MARGARET E. EVANS February 24, 1878 in Forsyth County, Georgia, daughter of WILLIAM EVANS and BETSEY WILLINGHAM. She was born September 30, 1861 in Whitfield Co., Georgia, and died August 26, 1946 in Forsyth County, GA, burial Salem Baptist Church. In 1880, William has married Margaret Evans, and they are living in Forsyth County. He is 24, she is 19, and they have a son, Eddie C. who is 1 year old. In 1893, he purchased Lot 735 in the 14th District, 1st Section (40 acres) from J.R. Tatum. In April 1898, he purchased at auction (Sheriff's sale) Lot 495, 14th District, 1st Section (also 40 acres). He paid $10.50 for this 40 acre tract. William F. Dover lived in Forsyth County for the remainder of his live. In 1900, he and Margaret had 7 living children of the 8 children they had had since 1880. With them was Carrie A, age 19, Maggie M., age 16, Freddie, age 10, Elvira or Elmira, 9, Sarah J., 4, and Charles, 1 year old. In 1903, Harmony Grove Baptist Church was organized and built on Burrus Mill Road on land donated by John Henry Castleberry. The Church was wrecked by a small tornado in 1919, rebuilt and totally destroyed by another tornado in 1944. The church was moved to its present location on Ga. Hwy 306. Among the Charter members of the Church was W. F. Dover, Amos Evans, Edd D. Dover, G.C. Bell, Mary Evans, Hulda Bell, Lizzie Bell, Matilda Evans, Margaret Dover, Rachel Dover, Carrie Dover and Maggie Dover. By 1910, they had one additional child. Carrie had married and moved away. Maggie was still at home and was 25, Freddie gives his name as Paul F., and he is 20. Elvira is now Mary E. and she is 18. Sarah J. is 15, Charles N. is 11, and the new child, Viola H. is 9 years old. In 1920, only Maggie, Charles and Viola are at home. We know from the cemetery at Salem Baptist Church that Viola died in February of this year. We know from Forsyth County records that Maggie married a Duran, late in life. In 1930, William and Margaret and Maggie are the only ones in the home. William is 75, Margaret is 67, and Maggie M. is 38 William F. died at age 87 of apoplexy and cardio-renal failure. His tombstone says March 7, 1936; official records indicate 1937. Children of WILLIAM DOVER and MARGARET EVANS are: 232. i. EDDIE D.6 DOVER, b. January 10, 1879; d. August 17, 1953, Forsyth County, GA, burial Salem Baptist Church, Forsyth County. 233. ii. CARRIE A. DOVER, b. December 18, 1881, Forsyth County; d. October 01, 1968, Forsyth County, GA, burial Salem Baptist Church, Forsyth County. iii. MARGARET M. "MAGGIE" DOVER, b. March 08, 1884; d. December 29, 1938, Forsyth County, GA, burial Salem Baptist Church; m. T. L. DURAN, March 13, 1931, Forsyth County, GA. Maggie died in Baldwin County; she may have been an inmate at Milledgeville at the time since a number of residents in Baldwin were actually in Milledgeville. iv. ROSA A. DOVER, b. July 24, 1886; d. June 22, 1889, Forsyth County, GA, burial Salem Baptist Church, Forsyth County. 234. v. FREDERICK PAUL DOVER, b. June 08, 1889, Forsyth County, GA; d. August 27, 1982, Gwinnett County, GA. vi.

Ancestry is showing a marriage record for Jacob Dover to Rebecca Weaver 3-22-1835 Wilkinson Co., GA No other information available. Any ideas?

Harry is the son of Andrew Jackson Dover and Grace "Ruby" McLendon. Andrew is the son of William Frederick Dover and Sarah Alabama Blanchett. In 1910, William F. Dover and his wife Sarah were living in Altoona on Highland Avenue in Etowah County, Alabama. He was a coal miner. His age was 47, and his wife, Sarah A. was 33. His son Walter was 18, and another son, Andrew J. was 11. I haven't found him in 1900 or 1920. In 1930, W.F. Dover, age 67, b. Georgia, father born GA, mother born Tennessee, was living on White Hall Street in Gadsden, AL. He was a manager of his own store. Wife Sara was 75 (she was much younger). Sarah was 29 when she married, and William was 21. On September 12, 1918, Andrew Jackson Dover, b. December 1, 1898, He lived at 120 North 12th Street, Gadsden, AL. He was a telephone and telegraph operator for the L&N Railway in Gadsden, AL. His nearest relative was Mrs. Ruby Dover, same address or 126 North 12th Street. He was medium height, slender build, blue eyes and black hair. In 1920, Andrew was lived as Andrew Dovel, living in Gadsden, Etowah County, AL (Pearl Street). He was a telegraph operator, age 21. His wife's name was Ruby, age 18. Living with them was Hugh McLendon, a brother-in-law, so we know Ruby was a McLendon. They had no children as of the date of the census (January 13, 1920). In 1930, he is listed as Albert J. Dover, and is a telegraph operator living at Gadsden in Etowah County, AL (Chesnut Street). Albert is 31, married at 19. Wife Grace is 29, married at 17, both born in AL. Harry is 9, and Ralph is 4. I have assumed that Ruby and Grace are the same person; however, please post anything different for this family.

Randy thanks so much for the "Proof" I agree with you 100 %.Your Cuz Shirley -----Original Message----- From: Randy Dover <7_rddover@comcast.net> Sent: Aug 22, 2005 3:39 PM To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Dover] Francis J. Dover - Revolutionary War Ranger Well, I think I have my "proof". Follow along and see if you agree and tell me what you think. >From some different records (printed below) I have gathered that FJD served with the following officers: Capt Jenkins, Col Paisley, Gen Rutherford, Gen Gates, Lt Copeland (or Copel?), Gen Greene, Col Washington, Capt George Ross, Gen Morgan, Col Hambright, Col William Grimes, Gen Smallwood, Gen Butler, Col Bratton and Capt Moffett. OK, here are some tidbits. Through cross referencing and all in a couple of books ("The Patriots at the Cowpens" and "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" [ FJD is listed in both!] among others) I've found that the CPT Jenkins FJD refers to is CPT William Jenkins. Lt. Copeland is 1LT John Copeland. COL Washington is COL William Washington. COL Bratton is COL William Bratton. CPT Moffett is CPT John Moffett. FJD gave first names for CPT George Ross and COL William Grimes. COL William Bratton was a COL in the SC Militia, under COL William Washington. COL Washington served closely under Francis Marion. CPT John Moffett was a CPT in the SC Militia. He served under COL Lacey and Gen Thomas Sumter. Sumter was an associate of Marion's. CPT William Jenkins served under COL Bratton before he was killed. CPT George Ross served under CPT John Miller, an officer known to have served under Francis Marion, and COL Bratton, among others. There is a "problem" with the book "Roster of Patriots who served under Francis Marion". Only soldiers that requested payment from the state of South Carolina are listed in it. In a book on Francis Marion's life ("A Sketch of the Life of Brig. Gen. Francis Marion" by William Dobein James) it frequently mentions Col Washington and also mentions Col Bratton. FJD claims to have been at Gate's Defeat and Sumter's Defeat. I could find record that Sumter was an associate of Gen Marion, but couldn't find clear records whether Sumter was assigned to or under Marion, therefore making him a Ranger. The same with Gates' Defeat, unclear whether Gen Gates was considered a Ranger. Several of the officers he mentioned were under Gen Marion and several of the locations were areas where he operated. In a book titled "Roster of Patriots who served under Francis Marion" there is a William Bratton mentioned. Also a Col William Washington and a Capt John Moffett. In "Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army 1775-1783" I found a listing for a Col. William Bratton, S.C. Milita, wounded in action at Williamson's, and a listing for Cpt John Moffitt, SC Milita. Then in a book titled "A Sketch of the Life of Brig Gen Francis Marion" (that's a great read) it reads "The most distinguished leaders, under Sumter were Cols...Bratton...". He saw action or was located at the following places: Salisbury, NC, York District, SC, Camden, SC, Congaree River, Wateree River, Ankrum's, Cowpens, Yorktown, Newburgh, NC, Guilford Courthouse, Gate's Defeat and Sumter's Defeat. Several of those locations are known locations of engagements of Marion's or his associates or of the SC Militia. Cowpens was a major battle and probably the biggest battle won by militia (including William Washington's "dragoons", Light dragoons were "cutting edge" military units, which is basically the definition of Rangers) in which British regulars participated. Here are some excerpts from the sources below: "He entered the service in York District, South Carolina he thinks in 1778 or 9 - under Captain Jenkins in the Militia Service in the Regiment commanded by Col Bratton - he served four months, was in two skirmishes during that time, served out his time and was discharged by Colonel Washington." (Col Bratton and Col Washington served under Gen. Francis Marion, the Ranger of the Revolutionary War.) "He was a private soldier at ANKRUMS [Ancrum's] on the Congaree under Gen. Green[e], Col. Washington." Just realized this! He said he was a private soldier, not that he was a private. The term "Private soldier" may refer to being militia instead of a Continental Regular. "from the (battle of) Cowpens was again marched about the country until the month of March when he was again in battle against the British at Guilford, N.C" Both of these were engagements where there was known "Ranger" involvement. At the bottom are complete sources. They give the locations he was and the men he served under. Declaration In Order To Obtain The Benefit Of The Act Of Congress passed June 7 1832.

Dover afterwards marched "through the county in different directions, sometime advancing, sometimes retreating, and sometimes detached on scouting parties. And was with Gen. Gates at his defeat near Salisbury and from thence was marched to Salisbury and thence again to the Congaree River in South Carolina and was placed under the command of Gen. Green[e]." He served for 23 or 25 months, then enlisted in either July or August 1779 in the Regular Continental Army under Gen. Green[e] for the duration of the war. He was a private soldier at ANKRUMS [Ancrum's] on the Congaree under Gen. Green[e], Col. Washington, and Capt. George Ross, stationed there about 3 months, then marched about the country until Jan. 1781 when he was in the Battle of Cowpens under Gen. Morgan. "They beat the British (Green[e] being at Broad River), from the Cowpens was again marched about the country until the month of March when he was again in battle against the British at Guilford, N.C., where he was w! ounded in both the leg and the arm. At Guilford was under Green[e] and the British were under Lord Rawson and Cornwallis. After the battle he was to different points to watch the motions of the enemy until they finally got into their entrenchment at York[town] in Virginia and where he remained at the Siege until the surrender of Cornwallis. After the taking of York[town] he was marched to Newburgh, N.C. [New Bern ?] at which place and in the neighborhood he was stationed for upwards to twelve months and until Peace was proclaimed, when he was regularly discharged by Capt. Bluford, Major Thompson, and Col. Lacy. According to the best of his recollection he served 4 years under this last regular enlistment and was discharged in Nov. 1783 by Capt. Bluford." To questions raised by the court he answered that he was born on the Haw River, N.C., about 40 miles from Guilford, but does not recollect the county, born the 28 June 1760. He had a record of his age, but it was burned in his house. When he first volunteered he was living in YORK DISTRICT, S.C., to which place his family had removed from Haw River, about a mile from King's Mountain battle ground. When discharged from the Army went back to York Dist., where he lived 3 or 4 years, then moved to Pendleton Dist., S.C., where he lived 28 years, then moved to Habersham Co., Ga. where he had resided about 19 years. He first enlisted and served 23 or 25 months as a volunteer, then immediately enlisted for the duration and served it out. He sometimes saw detached service under Col. Hambright, Col. Wilham Grimes, Gen. Smallwood, and Gen. Butler. He had received no written discharge as a volunteer during his first tour of service; he did receive a written discharge from the Continental Army after peace was proclaimed, which was he thought signed by Capt. Bluford and Col. Lacey or Washington. This discharge was burned in his house in York Dist., S.C., about 3 years after his discharge. Dover was known to Andrew Norris, George Ivester, and John Suggs who resided in his neighborhood, and can testify to his character and veracity. He knew of no other who could prove his service with the possible exception of HEZEKIAH DOVER "who saw him frequently in the Army of the Revolution" or ABRAM MULLINAX "if found yet alive in South Carolina." Sworn to in open court: Thos. McRae C.I.C. Signed Francis J. Dover [his mark] HEZEKIAH DOVER made a statement before the Court that he knew that his brother had first been a volunteer, then a soldier in the Continental Army, having seen him several different times in the Army though he [Hezekiah] was young at the time and did not remember the names of the officers. REV. JOHN SUGGS, a clergyman residing in Habersham County, ANDREW M. NORRIS, and GEORGE IVESTER, all of the same neighborhood certified they were well acquainted with Francis J. Dover, and believed him to be 78 and a Revolutionary soldier. The opinion of the court was that all were reliable persons and that Dover did in fact have Revolutionary service. Attested to by JAMES WILLIAMS, J.1.Ct., WILLIAM W. ALLEY, J.I.Ct and B.Y.PATTON,J.l.Ct. ABSALAM MULLINAX of Pickens Dist., S.C. appeared July 13, 1838 before John R. Slanford, J.I.Ct. of Pickens Dist., and declared that he had known Francis J. Dover during the Revolution, that he lived in York Dist., S.C., and saw Dover serving in the Army under Capt. Jenkins in the year 1777 or 1778, and also several different times during: the War. It was reported and believed that Dover served during the whole war and that the deponent fully concurs in that belief. ABSALOM MULLlNIX John T. Carter, Dep.-Clerk I. Ct. certified that John R.

Paisley, Hambright and William Grimes of North Carolina. He was in the battles of Gates's Defeat, Sumter's Defeat, Cowpens and Guilford Courthous, where he was wounded in the leg and arm.

Harry is a descendant from Alabama that goes back to Edmund Bryan Dover. Harry was a piece of work. Not the place here to share some funny stories. Will say that Harry met a Dover in the Asheville area years ago and they had no idea how they might be related. All Harry knew about his family was that his grandparents were William Frederick Dover and Sarah A. Blanchet in Etowah County, Alabama. Harry and Lindsey Dover used to go walking those streams in the Dover area of old Buncombe Co., NC. They found what might be the property of Elijah Dover with a piece of a chimney laying on the ground. Lindsey Dover is the 2nd great grandson of Elijah Dover and Martha Duckett through William Manson Dover. I called and talked to Harry early last year. I wanted to tell him that I thought he was a descendant of Edmund Bryan Dover ... and also possible that he and Lindsey shared DNA. Strange how things go, Harry had heard from his elders as a kid that their ancestor was believed to be a Frederick Dover. http://www.citizentimes.com/obituaries/keepsake.php?id=26991&PHPSESS ID=00dd19b5d93617aa8cb75c79cc774661

Well, I think I have my "proof". Follow along and see if you agree and tell me what you think. From some different records (printed below) I have gathered that FJD served with the following officers: Capt Jenkins, Col Paisley, Gen Rutherford, Gen Gates, Lt Copeland (or Copel?), Gen Greene, Col Washington, Capt George Ross, Gen Morgan, Col Hambright, Col William Grimes, Gen Smallwood, Gen Butler, Col Bratton and Capt Moffett. OK, here are some tidbits. Through cross referencing and all in a couple of books ("The Patriots at the Cowpens" and "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" [ FJD is listed in both!] among others) I've found that the CPT Jenkins FJD refers to is CPT William Jenkins. Lt. Copeland is 1LT John Copeland. COL Washington is COL William Washington. COL Bratton is COL William Bratton. CPT Moffett is CPT John Moffett. FJD gave first names for CPT George Ross and COL William Grimes. COL William Bratton was a COL in the SC Militia, under COL William Washington. COL Washington served closely under Francis Marion. CPT John Moffett was a CPT in the SC Militia. He served under COL Lacey and Gen Thomas Sumter. Sumter was an associate of Marion's. CPT William Jenkins served under COL Bratton before he was killed. CPT George Ross served under CPT John Miller, an officer known to have served under Francis Marion, and COL Bratton, among others. There is a "problem" with the book "Roster of Patriots who served under Francis Marion". Only soldiers that requested payment from the state of South Carolina are listed in it. In a book on Francis Marion's life ("A Sketch of the Life of Brig. Gen. Francis Marion" by William Dobein James) it frequently mentions Col Washington and also mentions Col Bratton. FJD claims to have been at Gate's Defeat and Sumter's Defeat. I could find record that Sumter was an associate of Gen Marion, but couldn't find clear records whether Sumter was assigned to or under Marion, therefore making him a Ranger. The same with Gates' Defeat, unclear whether Gen Gates was considered a Ranger. Several of the officers he mentioned were under Gen Marion and several of the locations were areas where he operated. In a book titled "Roster of Patriots who served under Francis Marion" there is a William Bratton mentioned. Also a Col William Washington and a Capt John Moffett. In "Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army 1775-1783" I found a listing for a Col. William Bratton, S.C. Milita, wounded in action at Williamson's, and a listing for Cpt John Moffitt, SC Milita. Then in a book titled "A Sketch of the Life of Brig Gen Francis Marion" (that's a great read) it reads "The most distinguished leaders, under Sumter were Cols...Bratton...". He saw action or was located at the following places: Salisbury, NC, York District, SC, Camden, SC, Congaree River, Wateree River, Ankrum's, Cowpens, Yorktown, Newburgh, NC, Guilford Courthouse, Gate's Defeat and Sumter's Defeat. Several of those locations are known locations of engagements of Marion's or his associates or of the SC Militia. Cowpens was a major battle and probably the biggest battle won by militia (including William Washington's "dragoons", Light dragoons were "cutting edge" military units, which is basically the definition of Rangers) in which British regulars participated. Here are some excerpts from the sources below: "He entered the service in York District, South Carolina he thinks in 1778 or 9 - under Captain Jenkins in the Militia Service in the Regiment commanded by Col Bratton - he served four months, was in two skirmishes during that time, served out his time and was discharged by Colonel Washington." (Col Bratton and Col Washington served under Gen. Francis Marion, the Ranger of the Revolutionary War.) "He was a private soldier at ANKRUMS [Ancrum's] on the Congaree under Gen. Green[e], Col. Washington." Just realized this! He said he was a private soldier, not that he was a private. The term "Private soldier" may refer to being militia instead of a Continental Regular. "from the (battle of) Cowpens was again marched about the country until the month of March when he was again in battle against the British at Guilford, N.C" Both of these were engagements where there was known "Ranger" involvement. At the bottom are complete sources. They give the locations he was and the men he served under. Declaration In Order To Obtain The Benefit Of The Act Of Congress passed June 7 1832.

Dover, a resident of the state and county aforesaid, aged 78 years appeared in court to make the following oath relative to his Revolutionary war service to obtain the benefits of an Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. Entered service as a volunteer private soldier in GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. under Capt. Jenkins and Col. Paisley and Gen. Rutherford on the 11 July 1777, marched to Salisbury, N.C., where he was stationed under these officers for about 5 months. Then was marched to YORK DISTRICT, S.C., and from thence to CAMDEN [S.C.] where he was stationed, then through the S.C. countryside to the Congaree and Wateree Rivers where he joined Gen. Gates; Capt. Jenkins having been killed near Ninety-SIX [S.C.] Lt. Copeland was appointed in his place. Dover afterwards marched "through the county in different directions, sometime advancing, sometimes retreating, and sometimes detached on scouting parties. And was with Gen.

He had a record of his age, but it was burned in his house.

On August 1, New York State's first immigration processing center, Castle Garden, will celebrate its 150th birthday. To commemorate this special occasion, the Battery Conservancy will launch its new website - CastleGarden.org - where researchers can do online searches of the expansive database of Castle Garden passenger lists! Castle Garden first opened its doors on August 1, 1855 and would see 8 million immigrants pass through her doors in her 34 year reign! The passenger lists pertaining to these 8 million immigrants are currently found at the National Archives, and they are *not* indexed. This monstrous project has been led by Dr. Ira Glazier, former Director of the Center for Migration Research at the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies and Immigration. To learn more about the Castle Garden website, and to be notified of its official launch, please see: http://www.CastleGarden.org pami54@aol.com

I know this is off topic, but since everyone on this list is a PC user, I think it's applicable. I wanted to take a minute and warn you all about this new virus. Before you read the article, I'd like to pass along some advice. Make sure your computer is up to date on all updates from Microsoft. Windows 2000 and XP have a feature called Automatic Updates that allow you to set the computer to receive the updates automatically. Or you can go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and do the updates manually. On top of the security updates, use a good Anti-Virus and keep it up to date. AVG makes a very good one, and it's free. Norton and McAfee are also good. If you have a computer that is always on the internet (uses broadband, i.e. Cable or DSL) make sure you use a firewall. ZoneAlarm is free for home usage. Randy Dover Article from CNN Money: Windows targeted by new virus Critical security flaws can allow attacker to take control of a computer. August 15, 2005: 7:45 AM EDT SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A new Internet virus has been detected that can infect Microsoft's Windows platforms faster than previous computer worms, said an anti-virus computer software maker. The ZOTOB virus appeared shortly after the world's largest software maker warned of three newly found "critical" security flaws in its software, including one that could allow attackers to take complete control of a computer. (Full story.) The latest worm exploits security holes in Microsoft's Windows 95, 98, ME, NE, 2000 and XP platforms and can give computer attackers remote access to affected systems, said Trend Micro Inc. "Hundreds of infection reports were sighted in the United States and Germany," Tokyo-based Trend Micro said in a statement released late last week. "Since most users may not be aware of this newly announced security hole so as to install the necessary patch during last weekend, we can foresee more infections from WORM-ZOTOB," it said. The latest virus drops a copy of itself into the Windows system folder as BOTZOR.EXE and modifies the system's host file in the infected user's computer to prevent the user getting online assistance from antivirus web sites, Trend Micro added. It can also connect to a specific Internet relay chat server and give hackers remote control over affected systems, which can be used to infect other unpatched machines in a network and slow down the network performance. . Last Tuesday, Microsoft issued patches to fix its security flaws as part of its monthly security bulletin. The problems affect the Windows operating system and Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser. Microsoft has warned that an attacker could exploit a vulnerability in its Internet Explorer Web browser and lure users to malicious Web pages, and could run a software code on the user's PC giving the attacker control of the affected computer. Computer users should update their anti-virus pattern files and apply the latest Microsoft patches to protect their computer systems, Trend Micro said. More than 90 percent of the world's PCs run on the Windows operating system and Microsoft has been working to improve the security and reliability of its software.
