right let me see, well it was a virus, and the various ways people are describing it is not the way it is travelling, or at least to me, there was no underscore (_) beofre the name, but the attachment must have had mp3 as it went for media player! my pc IS CLEAN, i HAVE NO VIRUS THANKFULLY the only way to deal with it seems tobe to be vigilent with your AV software, run it daily, run it every few hours, do not rely on Rootsweb to stop these viruses, they are not coming via rootsweb they are attaching to personal mails. I think that the way it is happening (based on the ones that came to me) I do something that many of us do, save topics that we may use later, these are being targeted, someone else said they had an email that had a familiar subject header, even one they had used, so was mine, so you would think it safe to open the mail irrispective of any attachment. just run Av software beofre you open anything and kepp it running at all times! and I have also got the email from dedah sitting in teh inbox with an attachment it is about to be blasted to death! its another virus, it has not come via rootseb it is direct from an address book and targeting the green list tonite! again be vigilantI hope that this helps all who have mailed to me on the subject and I mailed to the list to avoid any concerns to you all.
