Hello all - The current conversation about computer viruses on this list and another, along with the recent increase in viruses and worms circulating via e-mail attachments, has prompted me to write this e-mail in order to help everyone resolve this issue and move forward with other things. I hope you find this helpful. Successful surfing, Cyndi FOOLPROOF METHODS TO AVOID COMPUTER VIRUSES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Run a virus-scanning software program at all times when your computer is turned on. Most of the newest versions of popular programs will automatically load and automatically run (checking files in use) while you have your computer running. 2. Keep the virus-scanning software current, with a list of the most recently identified viruses. The virus signature list can be regularly downloaded --free-- from the web site of the program's manufacturer. I recommend updating this file at least once or twice a month. Put this on your regular to-do list! 3. Create a folder on your computer's hard drive named "Download." Place all files you download from the Internet into that folder. Have your e-mail program automatically place all e-mail attachments into that same folder. This allows you to have control over where newly downloaded files are placed and control over scanning them for viruses. 4. Whenever in doubt, run your virus-scanning program on the "Download" folder to check all the current files for possible viruses or worms. 5. If you receive a file attachment from someone online, consider these things before you attempt to open/run the file: a. Do you know the person that sent you the file? b. Do you know what the file is for? c. Do you know why they are sending you a file? d. Have you recently updated your virus-scanning program? -- If yes, you shouldn't have any problems. -- If no, update your program first, before opening the file. e. Do you really want and/or need this file? 6. Whenever in doubt, do not open/run a suspect file. Instead, delete it. 7. Whenever in doubt, do not assume anything about the file or who sent it. Instead, ask that person about the file and its purpose. 8. Each year or two, look into possible upgrades of the basic virus scanning program itself (not the virus sig list, but the software that runs the program). Does your current program have all the latest and greatest bells and whistles? If not, spend a few dollars and upgrade. 9. Don't ever procrastinate. It isn't worth the bother of putting this off and then cleaning up a virus/worm mess after it is too late. a. Install a virus scanning program. b. Run the virus program regularly. c. Update the virus signature file regularly. d. Do it NOW! ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE & UPDATES --------------------------------------------------------- Symantec AntiVirus Research Center http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ Download Updates http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html McAfee.com Anti-Virus Center http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/ Download Center http://software.mcafee.com/centers/download/ VIRUS HOAXES ------------------------- 99% of the viruses you hear about will end up being a hoax or a chain-letter which is propogated merely for mischief. Don't panic when you receive messages like this, but instead investigate the virus and educate your friends online. Here are two very important online resources that you should bookmark and visit whenever you hear of suspected viruses: Hoaxbusters - U.S. Dept. of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability (CIAC) http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org/HoaxBustersHome.html Vmyths.com - Truth About Computer Virus Myths & Hoaxes http://www.Vmyths.com/ Both of these sites are quite valuable and contain some very sound advice, facts, etc. regarding viruses, hoaxes and myths. Be sure to pass the names and addresses for these sites on to your friends as well.

Yes, Ed, I will be there. Maybe tired from giving the Computer IG lecture in the morning, but hopefully rested after a lunch break. Looks like a good topic for the TMG meeting. I will need some of the ideas soon as I share my family tree with cousins. I JUST found a first (half) cousin in Colorado. I am so excited!! He and his brother are my sister's and my closest living relatives. Have you thought of submitting a listing for the local TMG Users Group to the Puget Sound Computer User "Users Meetings Section"? I put a note in there for the SGS Computer IG and just received an e-mail response from it. If I can find my submission, I will forward it to you. Or, you can get the instructions needed from any copy of the Puget Sound Computer User, in the back pages. Dave GOT ANCESTORS? David A. Ault, Ph.D. [email protected] P.O.

If you have a newer Pentium III, the problem won't be as bad, but if you can figure out a way to reduce the exposure, you can settle for a once a week check-up. The question is, "How great is your exposure?" Plan for that. John You wanna discuss it?

Norton is a good choice, but it depends on how you have it set up. In the old days on my slow comp I just used it once a week to check to see what was on my HD. There weren't as many to watch for then. The best protection now is to have it working at all times to watch for problems. If anything happens that is suspect you'll get some message about a problem and a chance to stop it before anything is allowed to happen. The way that happens is each time your computer starts up the anti-virus software is installed so that everything gets checked before any changes happen on your comp. You can still 'inspect' your HD once a month to see if there are any problems that got overlooked. That procedure searches for any known problems as well as software that might make unwanted changes on your HD, which is what you need to do the first time that you install the anti-virus software. Some viruses will only bother you, while others work at spreading the problem around like the one that comes in e-mail. Both Norton and McAfee will clean them up. John You wanna discuss it?

It would seem that there is more than one way to block this virus but in time they may find other ways to effect more computers. It depends on what their intent is. Two good sources to keep them all out is Norton Anti Virus and the protection found on the McAfee web site: www.mcafee.com/ McAfee has a library letting you know what some of the current problems are as well as a free test download to try.

Let's start with the very latest, W32/[email protected], also seen as W32/[email protected] Here are other aliases that have been found: Backdoor-NK.svr , BadTrans (F-Secure), I-Worm.Badtrans (AVP), [email protected] (NAV). There are several things about this one that need to be discussed, how it is spread, and the danger to the infected user's computer. 1) W32/[email protected] is received as a REAL attachment (more about "real" vs. "inline" attachments later). It comes as an actual file attachment, which is downloaded to a user's computer into whatever directory is set up for such downloads. For Eudora, Pegasus, and other "stand alone" email programs, this will be something like "Downloads", "Attachments", etc. For MS Outlook and MS Outlook Express, I'm not sure where a separate attached file is placed. 2) A user's computer is NOT infected UNTIL he/she clicks on the attachment and "runs" it, that is, executes it so that it does whatever it's supposed to do. 3) Once a user clicks the attachment, it installs itself on to the user's computer. It then does two things: a) It propagates itself so that every time the system is rebooted, it mails itself to the sender of EVERY UNREAD EMAIL in the user's MS Outlook FOLDERS. Notice that I say "folders", not "folder". That means that if you filter incoming email into various created folders, this trojan/virus searches all of them, not just the IN BOX. HERE'S THE REALLY DIRTY PART: The virus looks through all those unread emails; it finds the originator of them (FROM:) and REPLIES to the person who sent the original email. BUT, it also attaches a copy of the infected file and mails it along with the "reply". Thus, if John Doe sends an email to a person, or to a Mailing List, when that email ends up on another user's email program, and that other user is infected and hasn't read John's email, John receives a reply containing a copy of the virus as a separate clickable file. HERE'S WHY USERS KEEP INSISTING THAT VIRUSES CAN BE SPREAD BY ROOTSWEB MAILING LISTS, AND WHY THEY THINK THE ATTACHMENT CAME THROUGH A MAILING LIST: Let me give an example - John Doe sends a post to the SMITH-L Mailing List. John Doe's system is NOT infected. Every one of the 2,000+ users of the SMITH-L Mailing List receives a copy of John's email. One of these users, let's call him Bill Smith, has the W32/[email protected] virus on his system. Now, Bill has a copy of John's email in his Outlook program. He doesn't read it right away. He reboots his computer and, when Windows restarts, the virus looks through Bill's email in Outlook. It sends a reply to the sender of EVERY unread email, AND attaches a copy of itself as a separate attachment. It copies all the original headers, including those that show the email came through [email protected] Then John, the original sender of the email, receives a "reply" to his email, from Bill. John looks at the email and sees that it is a reply to his original post. He also sees [email protected] in several of the headers. As far as he's concerned, he has received a normal reply back through the Mailing List. If John is a "newbie", one of two things happen: I) He sees an attached file, with a message something like, "Take a look to the attachment." He says to himself, "This Bill Smith is answering my original post, AND he has sent me an attachment which is probably a file having something to do with information on my query." He clicks the attachment; thus ANOTHER SMITH-L Mailing List user is infected. or II) He is savvy enough to know NOT to open the attachment, BUT from the looks of the "reply" it appears that it came back to him via the Mailing List. He screams and curses, and says, "I knew it! I don't care what the Listowners and the folks at Rootsweb say, these virus attachments ARE coming through the Mailing List!" He then posts angry posts to all the Mailing Lists to which he subscribes, calling the Listowners and Rootsweb people liars. He thus starts another round of uninformed posts about how attachments CAN be passed through Mailing Lists, and about how viruses CAN also be passed through the Lists. In short, this virus/trojan tricks recipients of infected email into thinking the virus is being propagated via a Mailing List. NOT SO !!!!! b) The other thing this virus/trojan does is this: 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 usernames, and passwords. In addition, the trojan also contains a keylogger program which is capable of capturing other vital information such as credit card and bank account numbers and passwords. 4) THIS IS WHY EVERY COMPUTER USER MUST HAVE A FIREWALL ON HIS/HER COMPUTER !!!!! It doesn't matter whether you are using a dialup modem, a cable modem, DSL, or whatever, you NEED a firewall. A firewall is nothing more than a small utility that prevents malicious people from entering your system through a "back door". Once such a person has your IP address, he/she can connect to your computer any time your modem is connected, which is 27/7 for everyone but those using a dialup modem. Of course, a dialup modem is accessible only when you are actually "online". 5) So, PLEASE, let's stop this latest round of blaming Rootsweb Mailing Lists for allowing attachments, and for propagating viruses, trojans, worms, etc. I know that in the future, as new users subscribe, many of them will come to the same erroneous conclusions and start the thread all over again. They should be politely, but firmly, advised of the true situation. 6) VERY IMPORTANT POINT: Some users insist that email from Mailing Lists always comes as attachments. Not so! SOME email programs, such as MS Outlook/Outlook Express and AOL, convert ALL List email into attachments. This is one of the most serious problems with such programs, and causes users to think that they are receiving "real" attachments. "REAL" attachments are FILES that are outside the body of an email, and come along with the email as a "rider". Other so-called "attachments" are those that contain the actual text from the body of an email. This is especially true for those subscribers to the Digest Mode of Lists. MS Outlook and AOL extract the body text and put it into "attachments". To the poster who was worried about "viruses going around on the GEN-NEWBIE Mailing List": I hope you can see from the above that the viruses are being sent from infected users' computers, users who happen to be receiving email from the List. This point MUST be made: If any user receives an infected email, or an infected attached file, and it appears to have come through a Mailing List, IT DID NOT. Blame the problems, and resulting confusion, on a virus-writer who is a little smarter than the average gomer. To end, here's a list of the KNOWN file-names that the W32/[email protected] virus/trojan uses: Card.pif docs.scr fun.pif hamster.ZIP.scr Humor.TXT.pif images.pif New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr news_doc.scr Me_nude.AVI.pif Pics.ZIP.scr README.TXT.pif s3msong.MP3.pif searchURL.scr SETUP.pif Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif So far, I have received virus attachments with the names "README.TXT.pif" and "Sorry_about-yesterday.DOC.pif".

The Seattle TMG users group will meet Saturday, May 12, at 2:30 p.m., at the Broadview Library, located at the corner of Greenwood Ave. NE and NE 130th. The area is served by Metro Route #5. If driving, please do not park in the Library's parking lot, which is reserved for library patrons. The topic this month is the set of options available for controlling the display and printing of private or otherwise "sensitive" information in a TMG dataset, as well as controlling the quality of citations in reports. Specifically, the use of exclusion markers, sensitivity brackets, hidden text, and surety threshold will be demonstrated. Bring examples of how *you* have used these tools in your own database. Please RSVP to this message if you are planning to come Saturday. This will help me prepare enough handouts. THANKS!

Just in time for SGS's move to across the street from the Pacific NW Branch of the US National Archives, the Saturday, May 12th, meeting of the Seattle Genealogical Society Computer Interest Group program will feature "The US Federal Census on CD ROM". NOTE CHANGE OF MEETING LOCATION!!! We will meet Saturday, May 12th, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Broadview branch of the Seattle Public Library, located at 12755 Greenwood Avenue North (206-684-7519). It is situated on the southwest corner of Greenwood Ave. N. and N. 130th St., just a few blocks west of Aurora Ave. N. On the Number 5 bus line. Auto drivers please park on the street to leave the parking lot for library patrons. We will begin with a demonstration by Barb Raemer of a new SGS CD computer-lookup facility. Some census CD collections are name indexes only, but some sets include the index, plus actual images of the microfilm census sheets. Then Dave Ault will first demonstrate using an "index only" CD for 1870 Massachusetts from the SGS collection. Dave will also share his experiences using Barb's 1840 Pennsylvania "index and microfilm record" CD set. John Wise will show his successes with his 1850 Alabama and neighboring states "index and microfilm record" CD set. We will talk about the Federal census CDs available at SGS and commercially. For a list of census CDs available at SGS, see pages 148-9 of the SGS Spring 2000 Bulletin. At the beginning of he meeting we will elect our Interest Group chair and vice-chair for the coming year. Barbara Raemer has agreed to accept nomination for Vice-chair and I have agreed to run again for chair. Further nominations will be open. Please attend and make your choice known. As time permits we will discuss the upcoming Heritage Festival on July 7-8th at Marymoor Park, in Redmond, and call for volunteers to help demonstrate genealogy research on the Internet in the special SGS computer room. This is a great opportunity to share our expertise with others, spread the word about family research, and let them know how SGS and the Computer Interest Group can assist. The SGS Computer Interest Group is the first established computer genealogy group in the US (January 1981) and second in the world (one in Sweden was first). I hope that this message comes to you successfully using the blind carbon copy feature of Juno to preserve your anonymity. I just recently discovered it.
