DO NOT POST VIRUS WARNINGS or any other off-topic messages on this list. That is fastest way to be removed from this list by the Administrator. Such postings will not be tolerated. (Please forgive this message, but some subscribers seem to need a reminder.) READ THE LIST RULES and FAQ sent to you when you joined this list. Virus messages are specifically prohibited as are many others. If you post such a message, you are put on probation (prohibited from posting) until you can convince the Administrator of your innocent intent. Those who cannot convince me or repeat the offence, will be blocked from the list entirely or re-subscribing. I regret these draconian measures, but they are necessary to keep this list on-topic. If your posting isn't about the SCOTT surname, please don't post it here. There are plenty of other places for other discussions but very few venues for SCOTT surname research! The virus warning sent today, like every other virus message posted to this list, IS A HOAX forwarded by a well intentioned person. THE FILE MENTIONED SHOULD NOT BE DELETED. If you ever get an email message about a virus, it is 99.99999% sure to be a hoax. As another subscriber pointed out today, there are sites for verifying such messages and as well as other hoax and scams. Do not forward any warning message without verifying it!
