The reason for the prohibition of Virus Warnings is just like all other prohibitions -- no off-topic postings allowed on these genealogy-related Lists. It's just that every time a new users comes across a "virus warning", he/she posts it to every person AND Mailing List he/she knows. It clogs up the bandwidth and clogs up the Lists by starting off-topic threads, which we don't need. If you want to receive tips and warnings about viruses, worms, trojans, etc., go to: http://www.tipworld.com And sign up for Virus Tips; you will be notified daily of new virus and will also receive information on the "legends and myths" (fakes) currently making the rounds. (P.S. Your post was off-topic and should have been sent to me personally.) SgtGeorge George W.
