Hi - This is Brenda Pierce - RC in metro region - I would caution ALL LIST OWNERS .... I have been receiving these daily for a couple of weeks - some of mine are coming back like they are rejected from Rootsweb (from one of the lists that I maintain) - so they appear to have the message attached that was sent from the list - but they are disguised virus' .... so please do be careful, don't open any that you don't know ....

Everyone needs to be extra cautious about attachments ---even if it appears to have come from yourself!! >>>> I just received a message from hotmail that it was returning a message I had sent to a [email protected] And it said the attachment was the returned email. I checked my emails and I hadn't sent anything to [email protected] There was a screensaver -virus laden- attached. It seems they are harvesting names from the lists and then sending them back to the us on the list, saying " you sent this" It worries me that people are getting viruses like this, and because they think they have sent them, open them too easily. So far Norton has scanned 70,000 files on my hard drive and no virus. Please remind everyone to be careful.

-I got a Klez virus and was able to download a file that got rid of it from Norton. It is confusing to follow their instructions but I finally was able to quarantine a setup.exe file in Windows and then deleted it. This finally worked. Gosh, if some of you are not very experienced with computers it is going to be so confusing to get rid of it. I was lucky, not experienced.
