The person sending it doesn't even realize they have the worm. If you get an attachment, you should get a file name in somewhere in the email telling you the name of the file you are downloading. IF that file name ends in .PIF, DO NOT OPEN IT. It is a worm. Hope no one was infected, but I would advise everyone to run their virus software just to be safe. And if you get anything like this from our list in the future, do not hesitate to email me, and I will take care of it as soon as possible. Hope everyone is meeting new cousins and finding lost ancestors. The list has been busy lately and that is great. Teresa Ghee Elliott TNRUTHER-L@rootsweb.com List Owner
