Hi Peter and All, All rootsweb mailing lists are protected from Attachments and Virus. It is up to everyone on the internet to protect their computer by having AntiVirus Protection and to keep these up to-date. New updates come out at least once a week, so please get into the habit of doing a weekly update and also a Backup of all of your files, these Backups then contain all of your hard work, so keep them somewhere safe. If your computer does break down or you delete something in error, you can reinstate your file/s from your Backup. I have been getting messages nearly every day to my Inbox, from my domain provider to say that their McAfee AntiVirus, has detected a message has been stopped due to having a Virus. Example A message which was sent to you was discarded by McAfee AntiVirus plugin running on CommuniGate Pro mail server <http://www.stalker.com/CommuniGatePro/> The details of what was detected and the original message header are below.

These emails have attachments which contain a virus, so beware. | | In every case Norton has picked them up and protected my system. | | It should be easy for you to recognise these infected emails as I believe that Kingsclere mailing list does not accept attachments. Perhaps Barbara can confirm this. | | Regards | | Peter Goff | Kingsclere, Hampshire, UK | www.kingsclere.org.uk | | All outgoing e-mails are scanned for viruses before despatch. | There are no attachments to this message | | | ============================== | To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: | http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 |
