    3. Hi Paul, It may look like the virus is coming from the list, but rootsweb doesn't allow attachment, any email to the list with an attachment gets kicked back to me. (Giving me lots of virus chances!) What happens is, the virus sends out messages to the addresses in your address book, and it uses (forges) the subject lines of old emails. This website will tell you how to get rid of it. <"http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/newapt.htm">click</a> You may try calling your ISP, maybe someone there can walk you through removing it.
