Hi Everyone, In view of the serious outbreak of BadTrans.B, please give this post your utmost attention! Killing BadTrans.B is urgent business. Thanks for your help! I have gotten e-mail indicating that people do *not* understand this virus that has a very high penetration rate and is successful in the payload. The Bad Trans virus ran rampant through the maillist subscribers. The virus is undetectable in some instances because it is embedded in HTML. According to virus experts, more devious ways of hiding the virus in email messages will take place in the future. Please take a few minutes to educate yourself, you *will* be glad you did. Beware Badtrans.B http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2825280,00.html Question...... but is it really necessary to unsub a virus infected person from our maillist? After all, the virus messages aren't coming through our lists, but are being sent to individual members who probably posted to the list(s) at some time back in the past. So, isn't unsubbing them sort of a "moot" point? Hasn't the "damage" already been done? Answer...... Let me answer your basic question and add a bit of historic perspective, since after all, genealogy is a branch of history. RootsWeb servers are Unix based and can *NOT* pass the virus. It is impossible! You can *NOT* get a virus from a RootsWeb mailing list but you *CAN* get the virus from a RootsWeb mailing list *SUBSCRIBER* by posting to the mailing list. This is confusing. The subscriber's computer, in some circumstances, then takes your message from it's inbox or your e-mail address from their address book and passes the virus to you. I hope I have made this issue clearer for you. It is very confusing until you understand the ins & outs, contributing circumstances and how everything works. Unsubbing an infected subscriber has a limited use, but that use *can* be important. I do it when the infection is by a worm that replies to real messages, such as the latest bug, BadTrans.B. By unsubscribing the infected address, one at least prevents *new* messages from the list going to the infected computer, and creating even *more* infected replies. You correctly stated, replies created by BadTrans do *NOT* go *through* the list. Yet they give the appearance to the unwary that they have. In any event, unsubbing the infected computer protects people who send messages through the list from *some* off-list problems. It all depends on which virus the person is infected with. Most virii it wouldn't make any difference. However, BadTrans (both the original and the B version) send themselves out to posters on a list, if there are any infected subscribers on the list, making it appear that the virus is coming from the list or even from a board if the list is gatewayed to a board. Therefore, I strongly recommend unsubbing people who are reported as being infected with this virus and notifying them that they need to clean their machines before resubbing. Point them to some useful URLs to get updated AV software or information. The removal procedure protects subscribers computers. In my opinion, if a list admin unsubs someone for this reason, he or she takes on a certain responsibility to follow up with an offer of help (if only to point to useful sources of information). One also needs to make sure that the victim doesn't end up in Reject File forever, for a problem that has been cleaned up. Last spring, around April, Badtrans Senior was released and due to the characteristics of that particular virus's behavior it spread like wildfire through the list subscribers. Some lists reported 25% of the subscribers were infected. None of us like to unsub people but it was literally at the point on many lists that unsubbing was the only way to stop the virus from spreading to everyone. From a subscribers point of view, they would post to a list and get one or more well disguised viruses in return. Needless to say, posts to the lists were greatly reduced. And there were numerous rumors that the virus was being spread through Rootsweb (not true but appeared true to subscribers). It's probably fair to say that a few list owners unsub for just a run of the mill virus. Its probably also fair to say that Badtrans affects lists very adversely and those of us that were around last spring, have absolutely no desire to repeat that experience in any way, shape or form. * Avoiding virus infections: Viruses and other malicious software, like worms and Trojan horses, are an unfortunate fact of online life, and there's no sign that they're going away. But you can avoid becoming a victim by keeping a few safety tips in mind: - Make sure you have up-to-date anti-virus software installed on your computer. Check the Web site of your software manufacturer for any software updates. Some anti-virus programs can be configured to check for updates automatically. - Treat all email attachments with extreme caution, even if they appear to be sent from people you trust. Some worms email themselves using their victim's address book, so that even people you trust may unknowingly email infected files to you. - Keep up with virus news. Learn about the latest threats by periodically visiting sites like Symantec Security Response at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ * "Badtrans" worm infects computers: Experts are warning Windows users to beware of an Internet worm that can record and transmit its victims' keystrokes, potentially exposing private information like passwords and credit card numbers. http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/internet/11/26/badtrans.worm/ Get the technical details about the "Badtrans" worm at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.html For those who are struggling in the BadTrans virus arena, there is a FREE FIX from Symantec... the [VIRUS] W32.Badtrans.B@mm Removal Tool!

Hi Everyone, I hope this email finds you happy and preparing for the Holidays. This email is to inform you (if you don't already know) that virii are running rampant again! This virus has a very high penetration rate and is highly successful in the payload. My only note on this latest virus to go around is that, in my perception at least, it has in its few days of existence infected many more list subscribers than I ever recall being infected with the first round of BADTRANS. I am still getting a lot of virus infected mail. It is almost a full time job trying to keep up with the virus. Please protect your computer files for your sake as well as others. For benefit of you newbies, the BadTrans is a nasty little worm that gets into your computer and mails out messages without your knowledge. This new version of the worm also drops a backdoor trojan that logs keystrokes. Those messages contain an attachment with the virus. The latest version of Badtrans, as well as some of the older viruses or worms, may show up in your mailbox as a message from a fellow genealogist, and may have a subject line that looks like a genealogy message. People continue to open attachments even though they aren't expecting anything....and they get a virus. That virus picks up email addresses from your inbox and address book and sends it to every email address that it finds. Please be suspicious any time you receive an email with an attachment or that has a blank message. Pretend you got home from work and found a pretty wrapped box on your porch unexpectedly...that was ticking. If YOU have the infected computer I will unsubscribe you from the maillist until you've cleaned your machine and let me know about it. This is for protection of the other subscribers computers.

W32.Badtrans.B@mm W32.Badtrans.B@mm is a MAPI worm that emails itself out as a file with one of several different names. This worm also creates a .dll in the \Windows\System directory as Kdll.dll. It uses functions from this .dll to log keystrokes. Virus definitions dated November 24, 2001 will detect this worm. For additional information, point your Web browser to: http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/vURL.cgi/nav108 _____________________________ 2. W32.Aliz.Worm W32.Aliz.Worm is a very simple SMTP mass-mailer worm. The worm currently only replicates on Windows 9x computers. It does not seem to spread on Windows NT platforms. The worm spreads by obtaining email addresses from the Windows address book and sending itself to those addresses. Virus definitions dated May 22, 2001 will detect this worm. When the worm arrives by email, the worm uses a MIME exploit that allows the virus to be run just by reading or previewing the email. Information on and a patch for this exploit can be found at If you receive a blank message from someone or if you receive an attachment from someone you may or may not know, USE A VIRUS DETECTOR before you open it. If in doubt, quarantine the attachment and inquire of the sender. All attachments should be suspect if you are not expecting to receive them. At the present time, images (JPG, GIF) are safe to open. If you have any questions or comments you're welcome to email me mmcmanness@mindspring.com. I hope this information helps.

Hi Everyone, This virus has a very high penetration rate and is successful in the payload. The virus is undetectable in some instances because it is embedded in HTML. It appears there's a new strain of the Bad Trans virus running rampant through the maillist subscribers. This one is the <W32.Badtrans.B@mm>. For benefit of you newbies, the BadTrans is a nasty little worm that gets into your computer and mails out messages without your knowledge. This new version of the worm also drops a backdoor trojan that logs keystrokes. Those messages contain an attachment with the virus. A quick lesson here for those of you who don't know ... 1. You should ALWAYS be extremely cautious when it comes to opening attachments. If you receive one that you didn't expect, before opening it write back to the sender to see if s/he mailed something to you and find out what it is. 2. You will NEVER receive a virus through a RootsWeb maillist, but if listmembers get infected, their computer may send you the virus, which *may* have a list subject line. 3. This new strain of BadTrans is going to make life difficult for a LOT of people. Note the differences: The first wave of BadTrans virus messages always had a standard "Take a look to the attachment." at the end of the message but above the attachment. Also, those messages had double extensions (for example: filename.exe.pif OR filename.doc.scr OR filename.txt.exe OR any other combination of extensions), know immediately that your message is holding a virus. Do not open the attachment, but delete it immediately. According to people who have already received infected messages this newer strain of BadTrans virus is even nastier than the first because it is undetectable in some instances because it is embedded in HTML, the attachment may not show or there is a false (second) extension. It appears to have filename.doc or filename.txt BUT THE REAL EXTENSION (.scr or .exe) IS 59 SPACES TO THE RIGHT. Also, the message size will be around 29 or 30k even if no words shows up. Many of the messages are blank. One other clue, the email addresses of the sending computers is altered by having an underline character preceeding the address <_ComputerUser@isp.com>. You are strongly encouraged to keep your virus protects updated on a daily basis ~ or at least every other day. If you receive an infected message please do two things: 1. Advise the family of the fact you've received an infected message and from whom. 2. Send me the name and email address of the person with the infected computer as well as the list name If YOU have the infected computer I will unsubscribe you from the maillist until you've cleaned your machine and let me know about it. This is for protection of the other subscribers computers. You can read about this virus and how to remove it from your system on the Norton Symantec site ... http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.html If you have any questions or comments you're welcome to email me mmcmanness@mindspring.com.

Hi Everyone, Thanksgiving is an ideal time to share your family history. If you have relatives coming for Thanksgiving, get your records out now, and make a list of your questions. Ask them to bring their records. You might want to suggest that they put their records in the car right then, so they aren't forgotten. Keep in mind that your questions serve several purposes; to extend the information on your charts, to give you clues for further research, and to gather life history of the family, especially your focus ancestor. Any information that contributes to these purposes is desirable. Some pieces of information are more important than others. Some are more interesting. Also, if your family relation is going to be available for more than one day, it would be a great time to visit the cemetery, and do a little cleaning, and remembering, maybe some recalling of some forgotten info ...... cemeteries are quiet, peaceful places for contemplation and remembrance. You will feel closer to your family and accomplish a great deal. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ************************* Michael G.
