Hi Listers, A couple of informative articles from this weeks Rootsweb Review. I strongly recommend an anti-virus program for your computer if you do not have one. I also strongly urge you not to open "attachments" on forwarded letters if you are not sure of the source.

To improve site performance, RootsWeb is upgrading its servers. As a result there will be times when you will not be able to access various portions of RootsWeb and you might discover some anomalies here and there. When you encounter such things, just try again later. It is not necessary to inform the editor or the HelpDesk. Thank you for understanding, and please excuse all this dust and some mail gremlins that got loose in the process. 2d. KLEZ WORM WRIGGLES ON. Just when you think there is a break from Klez, it raises its ugly head in your e-mailbox. Many unsuspecting genealogists around the world have infected computers and continue to spread this worm. The W32.Klez.E (one of its variants) has a payload trigger for the sixth of every odd-numbered month. This means that if your computer is infected on July 6 it will disable common anti-virus products, do large-scale mailings to addresses it finds in your local files, in Outlook and ICQ address books. It also will modify your files by overwriting them with zeroes. Your precious genealogy (and other priceless) files are at risk. Anti-virus software is invaluable, provided you keep it updated and use it regularly. Obtain anti-virus software in stores and shops or download it online. http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/ http://www.grisoft.com/ http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/ http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/ Also see "Internet Stuff You Need to Know" on Cyndi's List: http://www.cyndislist.com/internet.htm#Viruses ********************************************************************** *****Your kygenweb homepages are***** CALDWELL http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/caldwell.html LYON http://home.hiwaay.net/~woliver/lyon.html TRIGG http://www.kyseeker.com/trigg/index.html **********************************************************************
