I just bought the NEW NORTON 2002 and scanned my system. I had over 12 virus's and didn't even know. Here are some of the names: SETUP.DOC.scr DC 732.PIF doc.scr hamster.zip.scr Sorry about yesterday.D... [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] :KERNEL32.DLL Also received an Attachment from [email protected] in the Lincoln Co.Rootsweb, if anyone knows who this is, can you please let them know they are passing a virus! So, I'm following suit, and if anyone wants to send me an attachment please let me know ahead of time or otherwise I will delete! Can someone tell me how I can get my BROWSER to work again? I can not open anything from it! I've tried to cut and paste and nothing. I've tried to go to YAHOO and MSN and can not! Thanks in Advance! PS I've cleared the History and Temporary Files. And it still won't work! Kathy Lynn > There is a lot of those virus' going around. My email tries to get me to > open them or save it to a disk, I immediately delete it without doing > either.

Folks please remember that viruses cannot be sent to a rootsweb list because the list will not allow attachments. However, an unlucky person who opens an attachment can send the virus out to anyone who has sent an email to a list he/she is a member of because the virus replies and sends itself to folks who have written on the lists. Today I received 14 virus notes from various Eastern KY listers and researchers. Please don't open any note with an attachment unless you know for certain that the note was sent on purpose. I always write the sender to verify in cases where I'm unsure. Also important is getting virus protection. You will be doing yourself and others a favor by being sure you are virus free to the best extent possible. Having just managed to get my computer almost back in shape, I'm doubly careful. Don't want to lose all that great info! Laura (list administrator)
