Breaking News: 13:00CST - 04 Dec 2001 Computer Virus Said to be Spreading Rapidly London, England (EmergencyNet News) -- The WORM_GONE.A is a Visual Basic-compiled Windows executable worm that is capable of propagating through Microsoft Outlook and possibly through ICQ instant messengers. The file is packed using the UPX packer program and is compiled using Visual Basic. It arrives in an email with the following: ----- Subject: Hi Body: How are you ? When I saw this screensaver, I immediately thought about you I am in a harry, I promise you will love it! Attachment: GONE.SCR ----- It is recommended that you update your virus scanner to protect your computer at the earliest opportunity. This worm is said to be spreading rapidly and many occasions of it have been noted in the United Kingdom. -- Source: Trend Micro Anti-virus Advisory

The persons email address in the infected email is not the person who sent the email with the virus. The virus collects email addresses from the address book of the person who is infected and sends out email to all in the address book. You will never find out where it came from just worry about getting rid of it before you infect all of your contacts. Carole Bradley Cbra725355@aol.com St. Petersburg, Florida

I just got a W32.Badtrans.B@mm from: peter j. ashford [_ashes@xtra.co.nz] With the Subj line from the Re: {STONE-L] list My system caught it. Be aware - update your virus software -- N O W!

I received this from someone on the Stone list and thought I would pass it on. I know it is accurate because, I had received four of these messages today from either the Pauley list or Perry. My Norton picked it up in time, it had no attachment to it but could still be destructive. So be careful what you are opening from whatever list or if it has attachments or not.

I found this this morning: --------------------------------- Badtrans virus spreading quickly Answers all unread e-mail to trick recipients By Bob Sullivan MSNBC Nov. 26 - Computer security experts say a fast-spreading e-mail worm called Badtrans infected computers across Europe on Monday and is now spreading around the United States. The worm uses several clever methods of duping a victim into infection - in some cases, users don't even have to open an e-mail. After infection, the malicious program attempts to steal private information. THE WORM WAS first discovered during the holiday weekend in the U.S., but was given a low-risk rating then. With a wide outbreak of infections occurring early Monday, most anti-virus firms have now raised their risk assessment. "It's by no means a 'Nimda' or a 'Code Red,' but it is catching an awful lot of people," said Roger Thompson, virus expert at TruSecure Corp. E-mail filtering firm MessageLabs Inc. said it had trapped nearly 11,000 copies of the worm by Monday morning, and the rate was climbing quickly. The worm employs clever social engineering tactics to trick users into infecting themselves. Once it infects a machine, it replies to any unanswered e-mail in the victim's Microsoft Outlook in-box. The subject line will mirror the original subject line, and the message body is a "reply-to" of the original sender's message, giving the infected e-mail a look of authenticity. It then asks the recipient to "take a look at the attachment." The attachment can have one of several names, according to F-secure.

The worm also exploits a flaw in older versions of Microsoft's Outlook Express that automatically runs programs contained in e-mail as soon as they are view in Outlook's preview pane. That accounts for some of the worm's success in spreading, Thompson said. After infection, the worm attempts to send the victim's IP address to an anonymous e-mail account that likely belongs to the worm's author. The worm also installs a "keylogger" program, according to McAfee.com, which can capture and store personal data, such as credit card numbers and passwords. The Badtrans virus was first discovered in January, Thompson said, but this new variant - Badtrans.B - was released in compressed form, meaning it evades detection by older antivirus software. Corporations and home users need to update their antivirus programs to protect against the worm. ==== STONE Mailing List ==== Please remember that the list archives are available on the web and that all sources should be listed in each e-mail.

Hi, Bob -- You wrote: >Looking for genealogy of Richard and Myrtle Stone of Beaver Co., >Pennsylvania. >Their daughter, Florence Juanita was born approximately 1920. Her >brother's name was also Richard. I have a g-g-grandfather, Richard Stone (1799-1876) who was born in Mifflin County, Pa. His father, Richard Leander Stone, was on the 1800, 1810, and 1820 census records in Mifflin County. I believe in served in the Revolutionary War, but the records are not conclusive. His children were John (1793), George (1795), Lydia (1797), Richard (1799-1876), James (1800), Mary (1802), William (1804), Margaret (1811-1890), and twins Martha and Thomas (1817). George had all daughters and Richard's children were in Indiana or Illinois. That leaves John, James, William, and Thomas who might have passed on the name Richard to their sons and on to grandsons. Just possibilities. Debbie at <hasson@capa.net> has possible g-g-grandparents, Thomas W. and Minnie Stone in Vanport, Beaver County, Pa.. She says a 1900 census has among the children of Thomas and Minnie, a son Richard A. (listed elsewhere as Arthur R., dob 1882). With the names Richard and Thomas, perhaps these could be descended from Richard Leander. There is one other Richard Stone who appears on early Pennsylvania census records. He was in Easton, Northhampton County, Pa. when he applied for a Rev. War pension. I have copies of his pension papers which contain a great deal of information. In 1820 he stated that he had nine children living, the youngest being 13 years of age. A Mrs. L. D. Musgrave, Apt. 321, The Portner, Washington, D.C. inquired about this Richard Stone in 1923. Let me know if any of this fits. Have not been able to get further than Richard Leander Stone. Don ************************************************************** Don E.
