Hallo List Owner, I am sorry I do not know who to address this to . However I have just joined the East Anglia List and the Suffolk list and the first time I posted a message to both lists I got an email immediately with an attachment / virus, which has never happened to me before. I have copied the headers and message below in case this is of any help. Fortunately I do not use a PC so it should not have any effect on my system, but it does make me wary of continuing on the lists.

Thankyou Chris for highlighting the presence of a virus. It appears that many of the lists have been subject to virus problems, (i myself - now virus free). The viruses i am aware of are: Me_nude A 13.3kb W32badtrans virus W32/Magistr W95/Hybris The virus picks an address from the senders address book, without the sender being aware and then makes an attachment, which is the way the virus spreads when the atachment is opened. Rootsweb cannot forward an email that has an attachment. so please DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS, THEY CONTAIN THE VIRUS.They usually have "Take a look to the attachment." at the bottom of the email DO NOT OPEN. If you are sent any attachment, reply to the sender asking if they have attached a file, if not then both parties will know it is a virus. If you are suspicious DELETE IT. If you receive a suspected virus delete it , DON'T OPEN IT, ensuring you delete the recycle bin. If you did open it then you need to clean your PC of the virus otherwise you can spread the virus further. If you need help , you can find information on these websites: http://www.symantec.com or http://www.mcafee.com I will not be deleting any members from the list who have been sent the virus as this list isnt here to point the finger at single members who have innocently contracted the virus. Even so, if a member continually does nothing to stop the spreading potential after it has been highlighted to them on numerous ocassions then i will have to remove them for the good of the list. They can subscribe when their machine is clean. Feel free to contact me with any info or problems you have in respect of the virus, to: ENG-EAST-ANGLIA-admin@rootsweb.com. Lets work together to get rid of this cruel pass time for some malicious people and enjoy what the list is intended for.
