I am sending this email to both of me mailing lists at RootsWeb, so I apologize if you see it twice. As a reminder to all, virus warnings should be sent to the listowner (that's me), rather than the entire list. With the current virus making the rounds, if a person is infected and is using Micrsoft Outlook, the virus will try to send itself to email addresses found in unread messages in the person's inbox. So, if you have ever sent an email to a mailing list or to a person who has become infected with this virus, that person may still have your email saved in his box and marked as unread, although usually it only affects people who have recently sent email. In the future, if you receive a message with a virus that you think comes from someone subscribed to this mailing list, email me immediately at the address below and let me know the person's email address. I can check if that person is subscribed and take action to contact him and temporarily remove him from the list until he corrects the problem. This also points out something that cannot be stressed enough - *everyone* who uses email regularly, especially people who use a Microsoft operating system, should have anti-virus software installed and updated regularly. If you do not do this, you not only risk everything on your own computer, but the computers of everyone else with whom you communicate. It also seems that using Microsoft Outlook for email leaves one open to many more virus attacks, because its known security flaws and large user base make life easy for virus authors. If you have any questions about this, or anything else related to this mailing list, please feel free to contact me. Mike Gilbert <NJBURLIN-ADMIN@RootsWeb.com>
