    3. http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/extra/4948.asp Please go to this web page and see what is going on on these two querie boards. I am getting bombarded with e-mails carrying virus. The "McAfee Automatic Scan" attached to the messages posted to these boards is totally useless. And they are getting slick. Now they actually put a subject. It is usually "re:" a message you actually posted to this system. That is how I got it. It was actually from someone I new and had a subject regarding one of my queries. The difference is they put a "_" in front of the person's name sending the message. They one I just deleted was called "Sorry About Yesterday.mpg" and the previous was "Fat Lady Sings". With the "Badnews" virus I was stupid enough to open and infect our computer. This one will send an e-mail to "any" email address in your mailbox. The e-mail address can be on an e-mail, not just in your address book. You will not even know who you have sent these virus to. Yesterday we also got a Norton virus alert on a web page that had the lyrics of music. Luckily we have been keeping our anti virus program current. Good luck.
