Bob: One more question. I noticed this morning TWO different e-mails with attachments that BOTH of them had an underscore as the beginning of the senders address. (One was [email protected] other one was [email protected]) Anyway, tell me this. IF I should open the e-mail BUT NOT download the attachment and open it, am I infected. My understanding is that it is ok to open the e-mail---you cannot become infected that way. You can even DOWLOAD the attachment (although I wouldn't do that) as long as you don't OPEN it. The virus is activated upon opening the attachment. IS THAT TRUE? Let all of us know---and let us know how sure you are of your information as there is so much conflicting info going around. Valerie

Bob: Question for you. You say you CANNOT get a virus without OPENING an attachment. This is what I thought BUT was told by someone on another list that virus senders have gotten more sophisticated and can now send viruses on regular e-mails. I don't know how good a source the person that gave this information was, but he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I have been very careful to keep Norton updated ever since. Do you KNOW for sure that what you state below is true? I wish we could get a straight answer on this!

List, someone is playing around with rootsweb list members! Not only are people on the Richardson-L list getting these messages but some of us who are on the SCHORRY-L list are receiving infected attachments as well. I received a message from someone named Jerri Lynne with Re:[SCHORRY-L RICHARDSON, Henry L in the subject line. At first glance you would think that you had received a message from the list with information concerning someone you have been researching. This is NOT from the list!! Someone is using rootsweb lists, however, to gain access to names and addresses of list members as well as the name of who they are researching. There was no info in the body but this message had two attachments (in my email as well as other list members): ME.NUDE.MP3.SCR text5.txt I did not open the attachments. I emailed this "Jerri Lynne" at the address provided <[email protected]> and immediately received a "failure to deliver" notice from the postmaster due to the fact that this address is not in any directory. Someone is playing around with rootsweb mailing list information. It is wise to read the "sender" and "subject" lines carefully and to not open any attachments unless you are absolutely sure of and trust the source.

I have no doubt that we/they firmly believe that they were receiving a virus from the list email ,,, but the big question here is was the email being sent to them from & by RootsWeb ,,, and the key words are "sent by RootsWeb". Many, many times this argument has come up and every time they have been proved wrong when the full headers were examined to determine who the true sender was. The sending ISP is the one thing that cannot be faked and it is always contained in the headers of every email. Who are the "We/They" you refer to ,,,, if they are members of the list, then they could not get rid of any virus contained within the software at RootsWeb as they do not have nor can they gain access to RootsWeb's software. ,,,,, it is true that two or more list members could collaborate to determine who it was that was infected and then help that person get rid of the virus, but only the RootsWeb engineers could clean out a virus in their own software. If there is still one of those infected emails from the Lewis or Bishop lists laying around, forward it to me and I will run a scan on the true senders DNS number to see who it really is. I received an infected email from one of our list members tonight. <g> ,,, it is the W32/BadTrans @MM virus. ,,,, and it came as a list message.

We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about us, the USA. ~ Editorial from Romanian Newspaper When you think the U.S. isn't thought well of all over the world, read this editorial from a Romanian Newspaper. ~An Ode to America. Why are Americans so united? They don't resemble one another even if you paint them! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations. Some of them are nearly extinct, others are incompatible with one another, and in matters of religious beliefs, not even God can count how many they are. Still, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the army, the secret services that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed on the streets nearby to gape about. The Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand. After the first moments of panic, they raised the flag on the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a minister or the president was passing. On every occasion they started singing their traditional song: "God Bless America!". Silent as a rock, I watched the charity concert broadcast on Saturday once, twice, three times, on different TV channels. There were Clint Eastwood, Willie Nelson, Robert de Niro, Julia Roberts, Cassius Clay, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Springsteen, Silvester Stalone, James Wood, and many others whom no film or producers could ever bring together. The American's solidarity spirit turned them into a choir. Actually, choir is not the word. What you could hear was the heavy artillery of the American soul. What neither George W. Bush, nor Bill Clinton, nor Colin Powell could say without facing the risk of stumbling over words and sounds, was being heard in a great and unmistakable way in this charity concert. I don't know how it happened that all this obsessive singing of America didn't sound croaky, nationalist, or ostentatious! It made you green with envy because you weren't able to sing for your country without running the risk of being considered chauvinist, ridiculous, or suspected of who-knows-what mean interests. I watched the live broadcast and the rerun of its rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player, who fought with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that would have killed other hundreds or thousands of people. How on earth were they able to bow before a fellow human? Imperceptibly, with every word and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put in a collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit which nothing can buy. What on earth can unite the Americans in such a way? Their land? Their galloping history? Their economic power? Money? I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases which risk of sounding like common places. I thought things over, but I reached only one conclusion. Only freedom can work such miracles!

Hi Bob ,,,, I doubt that RootsWeb has a virus ,, there are several virus' that can make you think a msg. came from the list when actually it was sent from an infected computer of someone who is on the list ,, more than likely it is the BadTrans virus. NAME: BadTrans ALIAS: IWorm_Badtrans, I-Worm.Badtrans The worm component operates similar to I-Worm.ZippedFiles (aka ExploreZip) worm: by using Windows MAPI functions it gets access to Inbox and "answers" all unread messages.

I was talking to the four people who sent me more than one message....and started the mess I was in. I don't know anything about viruses....except that I didn't receive any attachments! I went back and double checked all email, deleted email, etc. There were none there. My virus program says I am up-to-date and have no viruses...but I received it from one of four people who were on lists....they were the ones I had received and read email from and then deleted it.....and the mess started. Then, after going to great trouble to make sure I was virus free, I got more email from them and lo and behold! I had the thing back again. So, you pray tell, Bob Hays......All I know is that I haven't received any more email from the four since the second time I checked out my system...and I am not having the problem.

I belong to about 1/2 doz. lists. This is what my Hancock list has said this evening. Bob It appears that Rootsweb has a virus that is picking up old messages that we have sent to the lists, and returning them to us, with our interesting subject lines and with a virus attached. Do not open any message with an attachment. Remember, it looks like it came from the list. Delete without opening.

My computer was OK and then I got messages from you and the virus started up again....it must be from one of your. I had messages from you earlier, too.

To varied mailing lists I'm on, I will be off-list(s) probably for most of December. For those with interest in Alexander Brown's list of Early Settlers- I have had a wonderful offer from a member of the Amherst list to finish transcribing the manuscript. Due to time constraints, I have been unable to work further on it. I will update the early settler listings on my site http://members.tripod.com/magannfamily/id58.htm and then, when completed, the entire manuscript will be sent on to rootsweb. Janet
