This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iEB.2ACE/627.1.2 Message Board Post: Iam sorry that I was unable to find any information on your family. It was to far back in time to find anything on them. Jean

Good intentioned people send along warnings they have received about viruses. Recently, we've received several warnings on our genealogy lists that have been hoaxes, sometimes suggesting actions we should take which will screw up our computers. There are very simple ways that we can all use to easily check to determine whether a warning is about a real virus or if we have been sent a hoax message. Following are addresses to web sites you can go to in order to see if you have received a real or a hoax virus warning. Or whether other chain mail messages you receive are valid. If we each were to use them before sending along warnings to large numbers of people then we would know when someone is trying to trick us all into sending along useless messages that use up internet/server space, or even to do something to our computers to injure them. BASIC HOW-TO INFORMATION: Each of the following websites has a place to type in search words. A good place to start when you are trying to come up with what words to put in the search blank is with the key words from the subject heading of the virus warning message you received, or type in the name of the virus that is listed in the message. If these don't pull up anything, type in words from the message that stand out when you read it. Sometimes the virus warnings or other content from chain e-mail messages will be verified as true; sometimes the information will be found to be false. Then, you will know if you should pass the information on. THE WEBSITES DEDICATED TO HELPING US LEARN ABOUT REAL AND FALSE VIRUS WARNINGS: The Urban Legends site: http://www.snopes2.com is my favorite place to start determining whether a warning is real or a hoax. I can find most things I am looking for on this site. While I have found Urban Legends usually has the reports I have searched for, sometimes, it has not yet gotten to a new warning before I receive it. (Or I just did not pick out the right words from the e-mail message to use in my search!) Then I go to some of these other sites to see if the warning is there. Usually, when a warning is not posted on one of the webpages dedicated to keeping us informed about whether a virus or other warning is real or not, it will be on another site. Some sites are more inclined to concentrate on virus warnings and to not be as concerned about other chain e-mail. This is because the other kinds of hoaxes (messages with health warnings, stalker/chain murderer warnings, messages that tell you to send the message on to others to earn money for a charity, etc.) cannot screw up your computer. BUT IT DOES CLOG UP THE INTERNET, SLOWING DOWN SERVICE FOR ALL OF US, AND SOMETIMES CAUSING A SERVER TO CRASH. Here are some other really good sites to check out warnings/chain e-mail: A company named F-Secure (formerly called Datafellows) sells virus protection products to corporations. It maintains its warning website as a service both to the companies who buy their products and to us regular guys for free. Their hoax address is: http://www.datafellows.com/news/hoax/ The Dept. of Energy also maintains an excellent website to keep us informed about real and hoax warnings: http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/ Oxcart Software maintains a site called HoaxKill which is easy to use. Like Urban Legends, it deals with more than virus hoaxes; it also includes categories of chain mail that clog up the internet, waste senders' and readers' time, and are just generally a pain in the butt. Their address is: http://www.hoaxkill.com./ Semantec is another internet security company (like F-Secure). (I think they might be the owners of the Norton products, but I'm not sure.) In any event, they, too, maintain a good virus warning site to let us know if a warning is real or not. To get to their main pages, go to: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ To get to the list of hoax viruses, scan down to the bottom of the page and click on "Hoaxes". Semantec also will scan your computer for free to see if you have any viruses. I've never used this service since I maintain my computer security with McAfee, so I don't know how long it would take to use theirs. I'm sure you will have to download some software onto your machine which will take a little while, so do it when you have some time! Semantec will not, however, fix your files if it finds infected ones; it will just tell you which ones are infected. To get rid of the virus/viruses, you will need a current anti-virus software program (such as McAfee which you can get online and update regularly online) (and, I'm sure Semantec must have such a program for sale, too). You can get to Semantec's virus check service by going to the mainpage address above and check on "Free online virus and security check". V-Myth is a very interesting site. It is not maintained by a company or a government site. It first got started with a couple of folks who wanted to let people know the truth about virus warnings in the late 1980s. I think they must get their money from advertisements on their site, but I don't know for sure. Still, they have good stuff and you can get to them from: http://www.vmyths.com/ They also ask you to send them copies of the hoax messages you have received so they can keep their research updated. I hope this information is helpful so that we can find out for ourselves whether we should be worried about a virus warning and whether we should pass the information along! Let's arm ourselves to eliminate spreading false warnings!

Can anyone help me locate the marriage record for Margaret Helen Weaver to Elmer Gilmore Evans about 1926? Margaret Helen Weaver was born 10 January 1903 in Greensboro, Maryland, and Elmer Gilmore Evans was born 30 May 1896 in Ocean View, Delaware. I believe that may have been married in either Greensboro, Maryland, or nearby Denton, Maryland. Sally Williams sally1will@aol.com

MDCAROLI-L HAS JUST RECEIVED A FALSE VIRUS WARNING WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO DELETE A FILE. DON'T DO THIS!!!! Below is a copy of the e-mail that was sent to the MDCAROLI-L list by eetcct@earthlink.net. The report on this virus warning that is posted on URBAN LEGENDS, a website devoted to identifying and explaining false virus and other chain mail messages, says THE WARNING IS FALSE and tells you not to follow the instructions -- also tells you where to go for instructions to restore the file if you have already deleted this file.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT > OPEN THE FILE!!! Origins: Whether the SULFNBK.EXE message was deliberately intended as a prank for gullible computer users or an honest warning based on a misunderstanding, the instructions listed above should NOT be acted upon. The file SULFNBK.EXE is a standard component of the Windows 95 and Windows 98 operating systems, a program used to backup and restore long filenames. Its presence does not indicate that a user's PC is harboring a virus, and the unnecessary deletion of this file can interfere with the normal functioning of a PC. (For most users, though, the loss of this file probably won't ever cause a real problem.) SULFNBK.EXE is one of the files that the <A HREF="http://www.snopes2.com/computer/virus/#w32mag"> W32/Magistr.a@MM</A> virus used as a means of transmission -- infected copies were attached to mail messages which copied them to the recipients' PCs. (The real SULFNBK.EXE file should be found in the C:\Windows\Command folder.) However, the mere presence of this file does not mean that a system is infected. You should not delete SULFNBK.EXE unless a virus-check program has scanned the file and told you it is infected. (The lack of SULFNBK.EXE won't generally cause a PC to stop working, but users who have removed it from their PCs should make the effort to restore it to avoid potential problems.) If you have already mistakenly deleted this file, you can find instructions for restoring it at <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q301316">Microsoft</A>'s web site or on the Symantec page linked below.

A friend sent this to us and my computer had the virus from a message sent to Tina from her friend -------------------------------------- Subject: Virus I received this note this morning. I found this virus in my file and deleted it. Please do the same to prevent damage to your computer. The person who sent this to me apologises for the inconvenience. It is very important that you do this! We have unwittingly just been infected with a virus from someone's email. This virus sends itself to all the addresses in the address book of the computer it has arrived at. Since you are in our address book, it will get to you. Take the time and remove it now - the instructions are easy to follow and we got rid of the virus in about 30 seconds. Some versions of anti virus software including Norton and Inoculate T have not been able to detect it. It is said that the virus hides in the computer for 2 weeks and then damages the dist irreparably. The virus is called sulfnbk.exe. Many apologies for the trouble this is causing. 1. Go to "Start" and click on "find." 2. In the box "find files or folders" write sulfnbk.exe (the name of the virus). 3. Make sure you are searching in the C-Drive (check in the box marked "Search in"). 4. Click on Find or Search. 5. If the file is found you will see an ugly black icon with the name sulfnbk.exe. The file is a program. DO NOT OPEN IT!!! If it does appear, try the same procedure again. 6. Click on the RIGHT button of the mouse, on the file, and then click on delete with the LEFT button of the mouse. 7. You will be asked if you want to send the file to the wastebasket. Respond YES. 8. Go to the Desktop (where all the icons are), open the wastebasket and eliminate the file, manually or by emptying the entire wastebasket. 9 If you find this virus in your computer, send this email to all the people in your address book, because the virus is transmitted in this way. If you don't warn them, aside from ruining their hard disk, it will come back to you if you are in their address book. Once again, apologies.

Earl, You have no virus nor have you sent one. This is a well known virus hoax. The file it says to look for is a normal Windows file used to allow some kinds of long file names. If you deleted it, you should be able to reinstall it from your Windows CD ROM.

I really haven't done much research on this line. Tabitha was the sister of my ancestor Priscilla (Vaulx) Hubbert/Hubbard, daughter of Ebenezer Vaulx (ca 1714-1788) of Caroline County, Maryland. I do know that the will of Kemuel Godwin of Kent Co., DE (dated & probated 1781) mentions his brother "Preiston" Godwin and his nephew Henry Godwin son of "Preiston," among others. A "Sethel" Godwin was married at one point to a Lydia (Ward or Wright, I can't remember) and sold land in Kent Co., DE during the 1804 to 1806 time period. Note "Sethel" may have actually been "Seth Hill" Godwin, perhaps named after Seth Hill Evitts a near neighbor of the the Vaulx family. Parker Todd http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~carolines/
