A virus has been distributed through the email list. You are vunerable if you use outlook express. IT transmits itself automatically through your signature file, so Rootsweb's filters don't pick it up. To avoid infecting others until you can remove the virus is to go to Outlook Expresse's pull down tools menu select options and select the signature tab. Turn off all signature files and delete any that show kak extension or in the filename. The http://www.synmantec.com site has instruction how to delete the Kak virus and directions to the Microsoft site to download a patch to protect yourself from being infected this way. Also when posting messages to the list, send them to gascreve-l@rootsweb.com and do not send messages in mime in format deborah byrd
