Hello everyone, Yes this is a true virus, but Rootsweb is bouncing all emails to this list that have the virus attached. I have received at least 10 bounces this morning. My virus scanner picked it up last week and deleted it. If you catch the virus it is not through this list. I agree with Laura, lets keep this list for genealogy only.
