    1. [MOROLLCALL] Virus Warning from List Admin.
    2. Marie Beckman
    3. Attention Listers. I do not allow virus discussion on this list but I do want to make you aware that we had a subscriber who had the badtrans virus/worm. I have unsubbed this person til they clean their computer. If you receive any attachments which come as replies to your Rollcall posts do not open. Delete them immediately. Since the person is unsubbed we should be safe.....but still do not open attachments until you scan them with your antivirus software. If you do not have antivirus software try http://www.grisoft.com they have a free version there with free updates.... The Badtrans will say something in the email like "take a look to the attachment" For More info about the badtrans worm check out http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html Also the SirCam Worm is another fast spreading worm. read more about these and other virus at my page Marie's Anti Spam Virus & Hoax Page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rmbeckman/virushoax.html member you can't get a virus "thru"(sent out thru the Rootsweb list) but the way the new worms work you can get a virus if an post/email from you is unopened in an infected computer. If by chance some of you have opened infected attachments or think you may have you can go get your computer checked out at Trends Housecall http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp Thanks so much for all the wonderful sharing of names and info you are doing. Hopefully we have some who have made some connections. Marie Beckman MO-ROLLCALL List admin.
