Hello In the last few hours another flood of messages *claiming* to be from Microsoft, and/or claiming to contain files to patch a security hole in Microsoft products, have begun to hit Internet e-mail. These messages are *INFECTED*. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to open, run, or view the file that is attached to one of these messages. Microsoft never distributes security patches by e-mail. The major anti-virus software companies have issued updates to their programs that catch and disinfect this virus. Please make sure that your anti-virus software is the current version and has been kept up to date. For a valuable resource concerning malicious software, and its effect on RootsWeb in particular, see: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/virus.html Please don't respond to this list, see the link above.
