Ok, I've got to jump in here. Everyone here does know that the Happy99 worm comes to you by attachment, right? Since Rootsweb lists do not allow attachments, you cannot get this virus through the list. Besides, and correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't Rootsweb have it's own anti-virus software? I believe I read that on another list.
