Might I suggest the VIRUS discussion go to the list for that topic? Also I have a page with helpful links regarding HOAXES, VIRUS & SPAM which you can find by going to my Lancaster County, NEGenWeb Resources page: <A HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/lancresources.html">LANCASTER CO., NE RESOURCES</A> http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/lancresources.html This was in the ROOTSWE REVIEW today: STOP SPREADING VIRUSES and WORMSCLEAN UP YOUR COMPUTERS--YOUR GENEALOGY DATA IS AT RISKFree Online Virus Scanner:http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or 5.5?Be Sure You Have This Patch:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.aspViruses, Trojans and Worms:http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/virus.html Take care ~ Kathie Harrison Lancaster County Coordinator, NEGenWeb http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/lancindex.html Harrison Roots & Branches http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~irishrose/index.html Listowner of: Rootsweb mail lists : NELANCAS-L, NEDIXON-L, NESAUNDE-L, BRICE-L, BLUNT-L, WEITZEL-L & MEDICAL-GENEALOGY-L We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Folks, I am going to have to insist that the virus discussions be taken off-list now. One of the list rules is: 7. DO NOT forward Chain letters, off-topic posts, or virus alerts to the list. This is cause for removal from the mailing list. There are two sites listed below that deal with these potential hoaxes. Please check one of them and then email the listowner if you are still concerned. If there is cause for real alarm, she will address the list. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html http://www.cai.com/virusinfo/ Now, while what has been going around is not necessarily "virus alerts", it is off-topic for this list. There IS a virus-discussion list (to subscribe to list mode, send email to virus-discussion-l-request@computers.rootsweb.com with only the word subscribe in the body of the email) which you can join for more information and help. But for the Dunn list, please do not continue on with the virus discussions... Thank you!
