To find out about Virus Alerts, as they happen, you can subscribe to a newsletter that will send you a notice when something new hits. Go to this address and input your e-mail address and "press" subscribe. http://ftp.drsolomon.com/vircen/vamail.html Since Rootsweb blocked my mail when I tried to warn you all about the dreaded Melissa virus, I think this early warning system may be useful. Rootsweb had already instituted a filter on their computers to ward off the virus and any mention of it caused the message to be trashed. I am appreciative of their efforts, but I was terrified that those of you who are not protected by an anti virus software program would be harmed. Carol P.
