I don't know if I am the only one receiving these or not, but in the last two days I have received e-mails from members of two different Rootsweb lists. Tonight I received an e-mail with an attachment from Stella Runyon and Lola Crowder. The subject title for Stella's message was: RE: RE: Looking For Moses Frey. There was no message typed in the note, but there was a file attachment called FUN.MP3.pif. I recognized that file name as a potential Virus file so I did not open it. The subject title for Lola's message was: RE:(ILRANDOL) Randolph County Courthouse. Again, there was no message typed in the note and the file attachment was called NEWS_DOC.DOC.scr. Yet, another name for the same Virus. That same file attachment came to me Tuesday night from a member of the EUBANKS Rootsweb list. If anyone else on this list receives these you had better not download the file attachment. Time to update our anti-virus program and then scan the computer for viruses. Ken Soper

Ken.... .... i may well be ONE of the culprits that helped this virus to go to the lists... last nite it was in an email i received, from a person i never heard of. normally i would have deleted that letter and not worried about it, BUT.... with this cussed outlook express i am now forced to use, i am unable to delete emails, unless i first open them... thus, the virus was turned loose. it is the Badtrans virus, and according to norton, attaches itself to ALL the addresses in your list, sending itself to everyone... plus, it contains some sort of trojan that attacks exe.'s, and other things... ...yes.. i am angry enough to chew nails, but it doesn't do any good... and am still trying to get it off my machine... i DO apologize for it going to the lists,.... there was no way i could stop it from happening...
