To: Fellow List Members! From: BILYEU/WORKMAN/OREGON TRAIL Mail Lists MOM IMPORTANT! I MUST pass along this message with a full description on the new virus W32.BadTrans.B@MM which showed up for me when I received 8 emails in the past 2 DAYS from this example email address: "John Doe" <_johndoe@wherever.com> The underscore tipped me off! Some of the people I received the virus from are SUBSRIBERS on our BILYEU/WORKMAN/OREGON TRAIL Mail Lists! I received a good explaination below from a ListOwner on the [NJ-SOM-RARITAN] Mail List so wanted to pass it along to my lists. PLEASE READ! This is NO joke... it's a BAD one, and it's running rapid TODAY!

Well, here's your opportunity to "get smart" with regard to this insidious and dangerous virus that's going through all of us right now. I've been doing some heavy research for the past two days in addition to communicating with a lot of you. Hopefully, this message will clear up a lot of the confusion that's been going around. It's also probably going to be a "longie," so you might want to grab your coffee cups, tea glasses, or soda cans and sit back to have a rather extensive read. I won't do another update unless this virus mutates again and does something drastically weird. I'm sure everyone knows by know that the current virus we're all dealing with is a SECOND strain to the original Bad Trans worm we had to weather through. If you'll remember, the first Bad Trans warned us by way of double extensions on an attachment plus the giveaway instruction, "Take a look to the attachment." Not completely so with this second strain! This insidious little mutant has so many people confused that they're unwittingly opening messages and getting infected. Rather than go into it all again, please read my warning message of the night before. From there I'll update here... This section is a composite of information found at <http://www.symantec.com>, <http://www.mcafee.com>, and <http://www.viruslist.com>. After this section I'll pass along some comments from the field (us)... The W32.BadTrans.B@MM is a worm that spreads under Win32 systems. The virus sends email messages with infected files attached, as well as installs a spying Trojan component to steal information from infected systems. The worm itself is a Win32 executable file (PE EXE file). Unopened, it's about 29-30Kb in size, but decompressed the worm file length becomes about 60Kb in size. The worm consists of two main components, the Worm itself and a Trojan. The "Worm" component sends infected messages, and the "Trojan" component sends out information (user's info, remote access service data, cached passwords, keyboard log) from infected computers to a specified e-mail address. It also keeps a keystroke-log program body in its code, and installs it into the system while infecting a new machine. INFECTING THE SYSTEM When a user clicks on an attached file and activates the code, the worm gains access to the computer. First of all, it installs its components to the system and registers in the system registry. Once running, the Trojan attempts to mail the victim's IP address to the author. Once this information is obtained, the author can connect to the infected system via the Internet and steal personal information such as user names, and passwords. In addition, the Trojan also contains a keystroke-log program which is capable of capturing other vital information such as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords. The worm also drops an additional keyboard hooker (Win32 DLL file) to the system, and then uses this to spy on text entered by a keyboard. If programmed by the hacker to do so, the worm may delete the original, infected file once installation is complete. SPREADING McAfee reports, "If the attachment is opened, the worm displays a message box entitled, "Install error" which reads, "File data corrupt: probably due to a bad data transmission or bad disk access." But this isn't happening to me, or a lot of other people (at least not that I've seen, anyway). What IS happening follows: When a user becomes infected, the next time s/he reboots the computer, the virus goes through the user's email program and looks for unread messages in all the mailboxes. To send infected messages, the worm uses a direct connection to an SMTP server. A victim's email address is obtained in two different ways: 1. through your address book 2. by the worm reading all your e-mail in your inbox, and obtains e-mail addresses from here. Next, the worm generates replies and sends infected messages. The message body contains HTML format, and uses a system breach to spawn an infected attachment on vulnerable machines. The worm uses the infected computer owner's email address as the sender, BUT it adds "_" (underscore) before the real address. The subject line may OR MAY NOT have a subject line of nothing but "RE:" (nothing else). For most of us, the body of the email is completely blank. There are no attachments, so there is nothing to click. That's because the virus is embedded in the body, with code that hides it. The recipient receives what appears to be a totally blank message. It's actually 29-30K long. Are you a list manager who's receiving reports that <_aperson@thisisp.com> has been sending out infected messages to your membership? Let's see if I can explain this one for you ... A SCENARIO TO EXPLAIN MOST OF IT You're a listowner of the ABC-l list. In your membership is Ima Doe. She uses Microsoft Outlook and has a HUGE address book filled with peers doing genealogy from all the lists she belongs to. In real life, Ima has a daughter, Sheeza. :) Sheeza isn't part of any list, nor does she do genealogy. However, Sheeza's computer is infected. Her infected machine emails Mom (Ima), and Mom seeing a message from her beloved daughter Sheeza, immediately opens the message! That's all she wrote! Ima's computer is now infected. You, the listowner of the abc-l list, and anyone else in Ima's address book, is now vulnerable to receiving the infection. List members start reporting that Sheeza Doe <_sheeza@isp.com> is sending out virus messages! Being a terrific list manager (and you are, aren't you?) you head for your utilities page to unsub this poor woman till she gets her machine cleaned up, but alas!... there is NO sheeza in the membership, nor is there anyone from isp! The message everyone received said it's from Sheeza Doe <_sheeza@isp.com> simply because Sheeza was in Ima's computer! Get that??? <g> (I've been working at this for a while folks, and am feeling a little uhm... "creative" here! If the Ima's and Sheeza's get you all fouled up, change the Ima to Jane and the Sheeza to son, John.) Symantec reports: If SMTP (user) information can be found on the current computer, then it will be used for the From: field. Otherwise, the From: field will be one of: "Mary L. Adams" <mary@c-com.net> "Monika Prado" <monika@telia.com> <--- I've had this one several times "Support" <support@cyberramp.net> "Admin" <admin@gte.net> "Administrator" <administrator@border.net> "JESSICA BENAVIDES" <jessica@aol.com> "Joanna" <joanna@mail.utexas.edu> "Mon S" <spiderroll@hotmail.com> "Linda" <lgonzal@hotmail.com> "Andy" <andy@hweb-media.com> "Kelly Andersen" <Gravity49@aol.com> "Tina" <tina0828@yahoo.com> "Rita Tulliani" <powerpuff@videotron.ca> "JUDY" <JUJUB271@AOL.COM> "Anna" <aizzo@home.com> However, we're all receiving messages from a host of other names, including those we don't know (like <_sheeza@isp.com>?). >From a message in the field: "I just discovered a problem when searching for FROM: addresses that start with <"_">. There is a problem with people who have their email program set to show both their name and email address in the FROM: header. If such a person is infected, mail from him/her will show, in the header, something like the following: "John Doe" <_johndoe@wherever.com> "The FROM: element in the header you see before you open the email will show only "John Doe". That's a problem. Either set up a filter to divert infected emails to a separate mailbox, or make sure your system is COMPLETELY protected before you open or preview any more emails.)" To notify the person who has the infected machine, simply remove the leading '_' from their email address. WHAT CAN YOU DO? 1.) Insure that your antivirus software has been updated since November 25, 2001. Anything before that will not give you the protection you need from this strain of BadTrans. Because of the mutations this strain appears to be doing, most people are updating DAILY now. 2.) Keep your antivirus program running at all times. You just never know when you'll be the next "recipient." 3.) Stay calm. Realize and remember that N0 virus is currently capable of passing through a RootsWeb list. Rootsweb's filters are set to very high. However, BadTrans.B makes it *APPEAR* that this is happening, and uses list messages as a source for new targets. Unsubscribing from the list will do you no good if your email address is already in someone else's computer and that machine becomes infected. MICROSOFT OUTLOOK USERS BE SURE TO READ THIS! Particularly vulnerable to the BadTrans.B virus are those users of Outlook (not Outlook Express). It's imperative that Outlook users NOT open suspicious emails, or even preview them. Outlook users will infect their computers simply by opening or previewing infected email. Since these infected messages have no attachments to click on in order to activate the virus, just opening the message activates the virus through HTML coding embedded in the post. Again, the message size is 29-30K, but what you see is a blank message. At the point of seeing the blank message, the computer has been infected. Outlook users are advised to view the headers. If a header reports a sender's address as similar to <_somebody@someisp.com>, DO NOT OPEN IT! As stated above, opening or even previewing an infected message through Outlook will activate the virus and cause your system to become infected. Available since May 16, 2001 is a patch for Outlook versions 5.01 and 5.5 that should be downloaded and installed immediately. MSIE 6.0 appears not to be affected because the patches for previous versions have been incorporated into it. You can check to see which patches your system needs by going to <http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/>. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WINDOWS ME USERS READ THIS! Windows ME utilizes a backup utility that backs up selected files automatically to the C:\_Restore folder. This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file, and VirusScan will be unable to delete these files. I have the instructions on how to remove the infected files from the C:\_Restore folder if you need/want them. IDEAS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FIELD (US): 1. Are you concerned about even receiving infected messages? Here's an idea that _might_ work: Set up a special folder specifically for "Infected Mail." Then, use your email program's filter to watch and transfer all messages with the "_" in the header to that "Infected Mail" folder. Make sure this is the first of your filters. 2. Are you emailing people telling them their computer is infected and that person writes back that it's not? This is because of the virus sending out the infected messages without the PC owner's knowledge. The person's machine is "definitely infected, whatever they may say to the contrary. Keep in mind that the virus is only contained in the messages that their computer is sending without their knowledge - not the ones they are sending you legitimately. That is why you are receiving some virus infected messages and some virus free. Unless their virus definitions are up-to-date they could run a virus scan & find nothing. Norton only updated their definitions to include the latest Badtrans virus this weekend." It's important that you impress on these owners that their computer IS indeed, infected and they need to take care of it. 3. "In your address book ADD NEW Contact..... !0000 exactly like this. It puts this address first in your book and STOPS the virus from sending to your list..." This is a hoax, I'm afraid. It doesn't work. You'll find information about the "!0000" hoax at <http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa082801b.htm>. 4. Have you heard of MailWasher <http://www.mailwasher.net>? Though I haven't tried it, here's a user's comment regarding that FREE program: "I can view, identify and delete the viruses while they are still on the ISP server. They never get to my computer." Hmmm... perhaps it's worth checking out? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You've done it! You've made it to the end! Once again let's keep this off the list. If you have any questions you're welcome to email me <ladyaudris@earthlink.net>. I wish you a TERRIFIC Tuesday! :) Stay vigilant; stay alert ... keep your computer safe! -------------------------------------------------------------------- For even more info see; 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 Also for more info; http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the old Marriage Record Indexes are in Salem, Ore at the Archives. I drove down there a couple of summers ago just to have a look at them. Book 1 an 2 cover early periods of 1842 or so to 1860? You had to go through them page by page. I don't recall in index. I would imagine that copies of Marriage Books might be found in a Mormon Family History Library on microfiche but I am not sure. You can find just about anything in Salem! Karen Beagle

Do you know anything more about the Richard Noah NELSON that she married? I have a Richard NELSON in my files from Campbell Co., MO. MAny of these families moved on to MO and then on to ORE. Would love to help you make a connection, if possible! Karen Beagle

Hi W. David, Many thanks for your email with all the websites. Have not looked at them yet but I am sure that I shall find them most interesting, and hopefully will give me a few leads. Your contribution is sincerely appreciated. Best Wishes Arthur Sunny and Warm Sydney

The Dalles Chronicle November 21, 2001 21Years Ago, November 25, 1980 Wasco County is seeking to amend the state law on certification of sheriffs, County Judge Rick Cantrell said this morning. A resolution originating with the Wasco County Court went through the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) convention which ended Friday and is headed to legislative committee, Cantrell said. Specifically, the county wants the law to permit people to be elected sheriff and be admitted to the police academy if elected. A start-up of a wind power project on the Ed Hoctor Ranch (Goodnoe Hills) near Goldendale (Washington) has been rescheduled for the week of December 9, Gene Tollefson, public information officer for the Bonneville Power Administration said today. The actual date and time of the start-up will depend on wind conditions. Work on the project is slightly behind schedule, he said. (Chronicle Editor note:) The file for the last quarter of 1981 has turned up missing, so the year differs on this segment of Looking Back.) 40 Years Ago, November 24, 1961 Circuit Judge Malcomb W. Wilkinson appointed an attorney this morning for James Hugh Taylor, charged with second degree murder in the strangling here Tuesday, of Gordon E.A. Donaldson, a local handyman. Judge Wilkinson appointed attorney Edgar Dick to represent Taylor, who was bound over to the Wasco County Grand Jury Wednesday afternoon after he waived preliminary hearing. Larry Shannon and Terry Ziegler defeated MAC champs in overweight boxing matches Wednesday evening at the Armory (The Dalles.)Ziegler, state 70-pound titilist had too many bombs for Bobby Smith, state 80-pound champion. Shannon, after taking a solid beating from Ron Sunseri, state 112-pound champion, in the first round came back strong in the second and blasted out a TKO (technical knock out) victory. Sunseri immediately demanded a rematch and AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) official Al Evans has scheduled them to meet again December 2 on television in Portland. 60 Years Ago, November 25, 1941 Being held in The Dalles today for the as yet unidentified owner is a small cardboard package containing the cremated remains of William Offield, address unknown, which was found yesterday beside the old Oregon Trail Highway, approximately three miles east of The Dalles. The package was discovered by one of a crew from Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company linemen Tuesday morning. It was lodged near a fence on the south side of the highway and just east of the overhead crossing located this side of Celilo (Oregon). St. Mary's academy opened its 1941-42 basketball season in successful fashion last night, defeating Moro (Oregon) high school's cage quintet 23-14 in fast paced game played at Kurtz gymnasium (The Dalles) Harold Neimeyer paced the Gaels with 11 points in the four quarters of competition. Shipley had 5 points for Moro. 80 Years Ago, November 25, 1921 Numerous residents of The Dalles who were stranded in Portland or at various places along the Columbia highway during the storm, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon at 4:20 on the J.N. Teal in time for belated Thanksgiving dinners. They told exciting stories of their experiences. About 175 passengers were on the steamer Teal, many of whom were local people, some were from Sherman County (Oregon) points and some were from Dufur (Oregon). 100 Years Ago, November 25, 1901 The young ladies of The Dalles will give a Thanksgiving party at the Baldwin opera house Thursday night for the benefit of The Dalles football team. The Birgfeld orchestra of twelve pieces will furnish the music. The bowling on the alleys of The Dalles commercial club seems to have taken a new lease on life. On Saturday evening, Victor Schmidt broke the club record by bowling 81 points. The former record was held by Mr. Bonn, who made 80 a few years ago.

Hi, I am looking for information on Sarah Ann Stump Nelson and Richard Noah Nelson. Sarah came out over the Oregon Train in 1865 with her parents, John and Mary Stump. They settled in Clark County Washington first, then after John proved his claim he moved his family to Pleasant Valley, Klickitat Co., Washington. Sarah married Richard Noah Nelson in Klickitat County and they resided there long enough for her to have four children, James E., Mary E., (who married Ernest Jones.) Myrtle and another child, name unknown. Afterwards, I've been told, they moved to Oregon and had several more children, but I have no further information. I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this family. LeRena Stump

Katie: The marriage index is another story. There is an index from 1906 - 1924 then not until 1945 to present. The 25 year break means that there are certificates but NO index. I was just talking to a friend of mine that is planning on doing that 25 year index, however, they have to be able to access the certificates. They are working on it. I have the index from 1906 - 1924 and if you know that Clarence and Josephine were married during that time I will try to look it up for you. I'm planning on have the marriage index on my web site but it's a little way off. The Death Index is on my site and that is still a work in progress. I have the dates that are complete on the site and its is FREE. I have some contacts that are able to get me some BIRTH records also. But no guarantee because the actual Birth index is restricted and it takes some work to get them.

Me again.. and still clueless... Since there is an Oregon Death Index that can be searched through... is there such an index for marriages in Oregon? I would like to get the record for the marriage of Clarence and Josephine Bennett, but don't have any date at all. Is there a website with a marriage index or someplace that would have searchable marriage records? (I'm lost!) Any help is appreciated, thank you! -Katie penelope126@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

I've been trying to do the genealogy of our turkey.
