Marleen, I do apologize, it was not your computer that is infected it is Martha's that has the bad trans. I am sorry if it caused you any inconvenience.

Thanks Deb and Robert for letting Martha know about the bad**trans virus infection. This one is particularly evil, replying on its own to *all unread* messages in your email box and it sure is making the rounds. It's also fairly new (first reported c. April 21st) and if you haven't updated your anti-virus software in the past month or so, now's the time to go get the latest files. To learn more about this particular one, and how to remove it, see: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/pf/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html To help out, I've temporarily unsubscribed Martha from the list so that no one will receive any more "replies" to their posts here. As I'm sure you know, it's NOT Martha who's sending these out. She's a wonderful lady who's helped many, many Edgecombe County researchers over the years. Cheers, Victoria
