Good morning. Happy Holidays to all of you and may God continue to bless our nation as he has for so long. I got this information from another list I belong to and as I have had about 30 virus messages in the past week which through genealogy lists I am subscribe to, I feel certain many of you have had or will have the same problem. I realize this is not a genealogy topic and probably not proper for the list, but the bad viruses hitting now have come through the various rootsweb lists or through the emails of those subscribed to these lists. I have copied the following from one of those lists. I am not a computer guru so there is no need to ask me for advise. You would not want my advise as it would be bad. You might, however be sure that your anti-virus program is updated and be sure not to open any attachments from anyone whose name is not familiar. And I would be sure to check with anyone you do know who you receive attachments from before opening them. Please read the following and again a happy holiday to all of you. Gregg ************************** It seems that this new virus/worm has infected many of us on rootsweb. I have spent several days getting my computer cleaned up and I had a difficult time finding help in doing so. I think this new discussion group can be helpful if you need guidance. FYI. I've just subscribed. Good Luck! Wayne S.
