fast-spreading e-mail worm, possibly from Japan, is encircling the globe and flooding e-mail servers with excessive messages. Fbound (w32.fbound.c@mm, also known as Zircon.C, DotJayPee, Fbound.b) is 12,288 bytes in length, and, unlike other recent worms, does not install itself on the infected machine but instead runs from memory. Mac and Linux users are not affected. Fbound is capable of sending large amounts of e-mail but does not damage or delete files on the infected computer. Because of the increasing reports of this worm around the world, Fbound currently ranks a 6 on the ZDNet Virus Meter. How it works Fbound arrives by e-mail with the subject line "Important." If the recipient's computer language is set to Japanese or if the recipient's e-mail address ends with .jp, the subject line is chosen from 16 Japanese-language subject lines contained within the worm. There is no body text associated with this worm. The attached file is named patch.exe. If the attached file is opened, Fbound locates the infected user's SMTP server and e-mail address. Then the virus loads itself into memory and sends copies of itself to addresses found in the Windows Address Book. Unlike many worms, Fbound doesn't install itself on an infected computer, nor does it add or change any registry files. Once the worm has been run, it will not run again. Because Fbound encodes all of its code into one line and does not comply with SMTP encoding, it may sometimes bounce e-mails it sends or arrive as a noninfectious e-mail. Code within Fbound contains the following message: "I-Worm.Japanize." Prevention Users of Microsoft Outlook 2002 and users of Outlook 2000 who have installed the Security Update should be safe from the attached EXE file in Fbound. Users who have not upgraded to Outlook 2002 or who have not installed the Security Update for Outlook 2000 should do so. In general, do not open e-mail attachments without first saving them to hard disk and scanning them with updated antivirus software. Contact your antivirus vendor to obtain the most current antivirus signature files that include Fbound. Removal Almost all of the antivirus software companies have updated their signature files to include this worm. This will stop the infection upon contact and in some cases will remove an active infection from your system. For more information, see Central Command, Computer Associates, F-Secure, Kaspersky (known here as Ziron.c),McAfee, Norman, Panda, Sophos, Symantec (known as Dotjaypee), and Trend Micro (known here as Fbound.b).

The Plattsmouth Journal gives the following interesting sketch of this and useful life of one who was a former resident of Glenwood. Calmly and peacefully facing the breaking lights of the distant shores of the land of everlasting day, Robert Baxter Windham, pioneer soldier, lawyer and statesman, passed on Thursday evening and with his going there passed on of the best known and distinguished residents of Cass County and Nebraska.

In the quiet little Mills county city he grew to manhood and received his education in the schools of that place. There was received the basis of the ideals that were to quide him through life and enable him to give to his state and community his splendid service. When seventeen years of age Mr. Windham entered the Iowa State Militia and served in for some time in the outbreaks that followed the drafts ordered by the government. In 1864 Mr. Windham enlisted in Company K 46th Iowa Infantry, serving under Col. David B Henderson later congressman from that state and speaker of the national house of representatives. The military service of Mr. Windham covered the campaign in western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. After the close of the Civil War, Mr. Windham returned west and in 1867 came to Plattsmouth, Nebr., to cast his lot with the little frontier town and where the rest of his life time was spent, a great part in public service. In the year 1879 Mr. Windham married to a Miss Jennit Campbell Patterson, daughter of Hon. James M. Patterson, long a prominent figure of Cass County. To this union there were five sons and three daughters, one son Jamie, and the wife of preceding Mr. Windham in death.

The West Liberty Cemetery has been posted, thanks to Scott Larson. Scott has been walking the cemeteries and recording many new and overlooked graves among those that are already known. It is volunteers like Scott who make this website successful. He may have more surprises for us. We appreciate his efforts. The surname registry has been updated. Please hold your requests to be added for the next two weeks. I will be out of town and cannot make the changes. Resume requests after March 20. We are always receptive to more volunteers transcribing various records. If it isn't copyrighted, the record is fair game. The more names, dates, and places in the record, the better. We would like to focus on records that are in danger of being lost or important records that would help the genealogists and historians. Has anyone abstracted the old deeds or wills in the courthouse? Is there an index to the deeds? I love indexes; they are the genealogist's friend. Thanks for visiting Mills Co. IAGenWeb. We hope you find useful information here. Margaret and Cay You are invited to visit our genealogy web pages. http://www.rootsweb.com/~iamills/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnwashin/ Genealogy without documentation is mythology.
