Dear List Members, The following was written by Sgt George George W. Durman, who is an expert in these sorts of things and I think it would benefit all of you to take the time to read his explanation, as it will explain further, and in more detail, how this nasty virus works. Again, contact ME if you have anything to comment on, or if you have received the virus from anyone on this list. DON"T send me the virus message itself, just the email address of the person infected and the name of the list of which the sender is a member. Thanks for your cooperation, Karima [Message begins here] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is a follow-up to yesterday's email about this new dastardly virus. (I'm also sending BCC: copies to several Lists which I do not manage.) It is called "W32/[email protected]". It is quite different from the original "W32/[email protected]" virus. First, here's how it works. When a user becomes infected, the next time he/she reboots the computer, the virus goes through the user's email program and looks for unread emails in all the mailboxes. It picks some of these, makes a reply to them, and sends itself. Here's the kicker. It uses the infected persons email address as the sender, BUT it adds "_" (underscore) before the real address. The subject line will probably have nothing but "RE:" (nothing else). The body of the email will be completely blank. There are no attachments, so there is nothing to click. The virus is embedded in the body, with cute code to hide it; the recipient never sees anything but a totally blank message. (I'm adding this after I finished the email. I just discovered a problem when searching for FROM: addresses that start with <_. There is a problem with people who have their email program set to show both their name and email address in the FROM: header. If such a person is infected, mail from him/her will show, in the header, something like the following: "John Doe" <[email protected]> The FROM: element in the header you see before you open the email will show only "John Doe". That's a problem. Either set up a filter to divert infected emails to a separate mailbox, or make sure your system is COMPLETELY protected before you open or preview any more emails.) In addition, the virus tries to dig through the infected person's computer and send email addresses, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, passwords, etc., back to the writer of the virus. Anyone using OUTLOOK (not Outlook Express) will infect his/her computer if he/she merely OPENS (reads) or PREVIEWS the email. The email has no attachment to click to activate it; it is activated by opening it, by the hidden HTML code in the email. Again, the virus makes use of the ms01-027 exploit, which means that the virus can execute on READING or PREVIEWING the email from within OutLook - it is not necessary to double click on any attachment, since the email contains no TEXT or ATTACHMENT. The virus is EMBEDDED in the body, but formatted NOT to appear, thus you get a completely blank message if you WERE to open it, which would mean you are already infected when you open the email, IF you haven't done all the following: 1) Installed an Anti-Virus (AV) program; 2) Kept it updated with the latest data files; 3) Have your AV program configured properly to detect email viruses; 4) Downloaded and installed the MS patches for MSIE 5.01 and 5.5. The patch to fix this exploit has been available from Microsoft since May 16, 2001 !!!!!!!!!! Where to read the Microsoft Bulletin MS01-027, dated May 16, 2001, and links for downloading the patch for MSIE 5.01 and 5.5: <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security /bulletin/MS01-027.asp> Where to read about the W32/[email protected] Virus: <http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/viruses/badtrans/default.asp?cid=2607> <http://www.messagelabs.com/viruseye/report.asp?id=86> Evidently, MSIE 6.0 is not affected, since all the patches for 5.01 and 5.5 were incorporated into it. But, to be sure, make sure you go to the Windows Update page and check to see which patches your system needs. <http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/> I have seen emails on some of the Lists to which I subscribe, where obstinate users absolutely refuse to install an Anti-Virus (AV) program. They claim they are intelligent and experienced enough to never become infected. NOT SO !!!!! This latest atrocity is being spread by some of these "superior" users. What users without AV programs don't under- stand is that they are doing all the rest of us hundreds of million users a great disservice. I'm tired of downloading dozens of messages every day containing this virus (and others). Someone else will have to provide the information for Norton and other AV programs, but here is what I know about McAfee: You must have version 4.x or later installed; You must be using the 4.0.70 or later engine; You must be using the 4172 or later data file; You must correctly configure McAfee to catch viruses in emails and downloaded files. Furthermore, IF you are using Outlook (not Outlook Express): You MUST not open suspicious emails, or preview them; You must look at the From: header; if it has an address similar to this, <[email protected]>, DON'T open it; all the addresses of the infected persons will be real, except they will have the _ (underscore) in from of them. If you open or preview an infected message in Outlook, it's too late! You're already infected! One further thing. If you DO use an AV program, it is imperative that you check for updates often -- at least daily, and, with these souped-up virus versions starting to come out, 2-3 times a day wouldn't hurt. I was lucky. I used the McAfee utility to check for updates and downloaded the latest data file just hours before I started receiving the first bunch of infected emails. Many were not so lucky. Addition for Eudora users: Set up a filter that looks for <_ in any header; set it to transfer all such emails to a special folder (such as Infected-Email); make sure you also select "Skip Rest" in the second Action box; then move this filter to the very top of your filters.

Dear List Members: Please DO *NOT* REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE in any way that will cause the reply to go to the list. We want to stick to genealogy as much as possible on the list, not get sidetracked. For further information, contact me PRIVATELY. Better yet, check your online antivirus resources. Please DO *NOT* REPORT VIRUS ACTIVITY to the list under any circumstances. Contact me personally. I will deal with the situation as circumstances warrant. There is a new strain of a virus (actually a worm, for the technically minded) that can *APPEAR* to be closely connected to a mailing list. It is called BadTrans.B and I have received many copies of it over the past few days. Here is how to recognize it: 1. The "from" address begins with an underscore or space, e.g. "[email protected]" or " [email protected]" but is otherwise an address you might recognize as genuine. 2. The "subject" is taken from a message you sent to either an individual or a mailing list. 3. There is no *visible* content or attachment. Here is what to do: 1. Make sure you have updated your antivirus *software* since November 25, 2001.** 2. Make sure you have updated your antivirus *definitions* since November 25, 2001.** 3. Make sure you are running your antivirus software at all times. This used to be optional, a matter of personal preference. It is no longer either, for responsible netizens. 4. Do *NOT* send a warning to the list. If you believe it might be helpful, send me a message *privately*. **Note: if you have an automatic update function in your antivirus program, it will take care of all this for you. No virus is currently capable of passing through a RootsWeb list. However, BadTrans.B makes it *APPEAR* that this is happening, and uses list messages as a source for new targets. Therefore, as list admin I need to act in certain situations. Here is what I will do if a subscriber to one of my lists appears to be infected: 1. I will unsubscribe the address and block resubscription. 2. I will contact the infected subscriber to explain what has been done and to offer assistance. 3. On reasonable assurance from the subscriber that the bug has been cleaned from the subscriber's PC, I will allow resubscription. Remember, infected subscribers are victims, not evil people. However, with reasonable precautions taken we can all help to limit the spread of such bugs. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Karima List Administrator

My understanding of tansy is that it is a wildflower that was collected for it's root and then the root was boiled for tea. It was used as medicine-I'm not sure for what ailment, but I suppose if it tasted bad you added a little liquor and had essentially what we might call a hot toddy. It may have been a Native American herbal medicine and the Europeans added the liquor.

What is "tanzy"? The Jerseyville history stories referenced infer that "tanzy" is some kind of drink, or perhaps some potion, for human consumption, apparently non-alcoholic. But its consumption with whiskey appears to have been common practice.
