    3. You probably all know that I am not a big fan of virus and worm warnings on my lists, but this one has hit the Rootsweb mailing lists and ME fairly hard. They are talking about it like crazy on the Listowners mailing list, so I just thought I would mention it here as a heads up. It is known as W32 Badtrans and I spent the day (and got a dandy migraine) trying to get it off my computer. It mails itself out as an attachment to anyone who sends an e-mail to an infected person. PLEASE DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE! This does not present itself as an .EXE file. The attachment sent to me came from someone I know, and looked like a genealogy attachment to me. I am usually pretty vigilant but got caught with my drawers down this time! If you find yourself with this worm, go here for a really neat fix called the Trojan Cleaner: http://www.angelfire.com/or/matney/page1.html This site also just gives info about this worm to anyone who may be looking for it. Hope none of you gets it. Sherry
