Earlier today when I clicked on a link to go to a Web page could have been within RootsWeb but I don't recall...McAfee sent a popup about blocking a suspicious IP address but the page still loaded so I assume the suspicious IP address was an ad. That happens almost every day. The site may not have malware but you never know. :) Joan PS: Also...malware can come through from a source OTHER THAN the page you attempting to load. That could have been the case here...I have been on list tools today with no problem and those pages don't really carry ads so I doubt there is an issue. In a message dated 2/23/2013 2:05:00 P.M.

Possibly, no site is wholly immune from hacking; but if that were the case, it's unlikely to be just one list affected, a number of list admins would also be affected. We'll have to see how many more have also been affected. None of my security programs has flagged a problem. I've been to the list tools page for all my main lists several times today for one reason or another. The person concerned could have picked up the malware from another site around the same time, maybe as a drive-by. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LISTOWNERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
