Rootsweb would automatically filter this out. But you could be at risk on other non-rootsweb lists or personal emails. I know nothing more about this "worm" at this time, but they are announcing it on network news etc. This is something that I think all Listowners should be aware of : There is a very destructive virus going around called ExploreZip.worm. It is distributed via Email and the message looks like this I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. Under no circumstances open the ZIP file. The attached file is not a Zip file, it just looks like it. It is zipped_files.exe which will destroy files with extensions .c, .cpp, .h, .asm, .doc, .xls, or .ppt For more info on this virus see http://www.avertlabs.com/public/datafiles/valerts/vinfo/va10185.asp Sandi Colonel Sandi Gorin 205 Clements,Glasgow, KY 42141 (270) 651-9114 or E-fax (707)222-1210 Gorin Genealogical Publishing: http://members.delphi.com/gorin1/index.html TIPS: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Tips KYBIOS: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Bios ARCHIVES: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
