It has come to my attention that there is a new virus making its round, the W32.httw.fizzer which is actually a worm and comes with attachments. You can check all about it here: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.hllw.fizzer@mm.html Remember: Subscribe to virus program, McAfee, Norton, etc. There are also free ones on the internet. Keep your virus definitions current. I use Norton because it is the only one that I have found that scans incoming and outgoing Netscape mail. If you use Outlook, most programs work, but remember to configure the software to scan your mail. While our lists pertain to genealogy, I tried to alert all the subscribers of new viruses as they occur. If you come across a new virus, remember to check with me first before posting an alert to the list. Thanks for your cooperation. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
