I am also getting messages from other Rootsweb lists (I'll forward you the one I got last night Betty). My husband got word from his IS people at work about the new Bugbear virus and it is spreading like wildfire. Their advice was to run an update to your virus software immediately and don't open any files with these extensions: .exe, .pif, or .scr. ; even if you know who sent it. Hope this helps out. Donna
