This is a real threat.....not a hoax, as far as I can determine. Best.............Vicki ========================== VIRUS ALERT/WORST EVER ACCORDING TO CNN PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!! A new virus has just been discoverd that has been classified by Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) and by McAfee (www.mcafee.com) as the most destructive ever!  This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed.  This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.  This virus acts in the following manner: It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title "A Virtual Card for You." As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened, the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN ww.cnn.com/http://www.cnn.com). This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.  So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You." As soon as you get the mail, delete it. Please pass this mail to all of your friends.  Forward this to everyone in your address book.  I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all.  Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently.  If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower For You," do not open it.  Delete it right away!  This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files) from your computer.  Your computer will not be able to boot up!! SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

Hello everyone! Searching for the marriage record of William Clapp (Clamp) and Margaret Baughman in 1859. The 1860 census for Newberry District reports that William Clapp and Margaret Clapp had been married within the last year. Margaret was in Lexington in 1850 census. All suggestions for further search on my part fully appreciated. Thank you so much. --Elma Clamp Researching: Clamp/Clapp (South Carolina, Texas) Halliburton (Tennessee, Scotland) Nation (Tennessee, Texas) Baughman (South Carolina, Texas) Walker (Texas) Browning (Tennessee --

Received letter from Jane Gilbert (SCNEWBERRY) stating that the virus was not a bad one, and provided this site: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.passon.html which tells about the fairly new virus. It is fairly easy to remove. Love to all, Vicki

Friends ....I was off computer all day yesterday. I was informed by Norton that I had a virus, so I called Melinda (my daughter) who came over and was able to "quarantine" it. It is a very dangerous one...and we have no idea how I got it. It is described as follows: VBS.PassOn - length 1234 bytes, type HTML application, size 1.56 B Memory Resdent (can't read word) Size: stealth Full: stealth triggered event: file Encrypting: 12:11:48 Polymorphic: (file was quarantined) File infected: C:/Windows/Start Menu/ Programs/ Start up/ Reg. hta It is possible that it was actually contained in a webpage. I have called a repairman who may be able to tell me how to get rid of it. It cannot be repaired. Believe it is insidious and extremely dangerous. Love to all....................Vicki

Nancy, I have an Elizabeth Peterson, b. 2 July 1786, Newberry, SC, d.5 Dec. 1842, Newberry, SC; daughter of Thomas Peterson (b. c. 1756, d. c. Mar. 1827, Edgefield Co., SC) & Abigal Richardson (b. c. 1758, d. 5 June 1825, Edgefield Co., SC). Elizabeth married: 1. Jeremiah "Jerry" Goggans, 4 Aug. 1801, Newberry, SC; 2. Joseph Stewart, Jr. 20 Oct. 1814, Newberry, SC; Does this look like a connection? I have other information on these Petersons, including Elizabeth's siblings, her children by her first marriage, and other info on Thomas and Abigale, but nothing further on the Stewarts. If this looks like your line and you want that info, let me know. Also, I would like to know more about the Stewarts.
