Hi fellow listers, Whereas virus alerts are not normally sent to the Lists, as List Admin I've been made aware of a nasty virus which has affected some people who sub to other Rootsweb Lists (and which a friend received from her sister) and due to it's difficult nature has proved hard to detect/remove. The a/v filters at Rootsweb should prevent the virus, which has various names although most commonly known as MTX,(also known as: W95.Oisdbo,W95.MTX.dr,W95.MTX(.dll)from reaching any subscriber. You may, however, receive it from elsewhere and be unaware of what it is. To help anyone affected or worried about this I have detailed information and cleaning instructions obtained from the Symantec anti-virus website database, and if you would like a copy please contact me offlist at [email protected] and I'll forward them straight away. I shall also upload them to a webpage over the weekend in case someone needs them urgently whilst I'm not about. To view them please go to: http://members.nbci.com/Anne_Nichols/mtxclean.htm -- Cheers, Anne ICQ# 32010967 (nickie) mailto:[email protected] Rootsweb ListOwner: Docwra, Dockery, Garton, Hampson and Schofield still hunting Nichols, Martin, Fletcher, Ford, Chandler
