Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.

It is with regret that I am compelled to hand over the Admin of this
List. I am greatful for the support you have provided and I wish you
success in your research. I give this up with a heavy heart. If you

Thanks,
David.

email me direct, after you have checked details with your particular

> Return of the Yaha Worm
> By Ryan Naraine
> E-mail security firms are warning that a variant of the Yaha.M
mass-mailing virus is again circulating, urging administrators to
> block attachments ending with ".scr," ".exe" and ".com" at the
firewall level to keep the worm at bay.
> MessageLabs slapped a "High Risk" rating on the new Yaha.M-mm worm,
which was discovered over the holidays and has been wreaking
> havoc on e-mail around the world. To date, MessageLabs has
intercepted 36,033 copies of the virus in more than 100 countries.
>
> McAfee has also upped its rating on the new Yaha variant, which
propagates via e-mail using its own built-in SMTP engine. The worm
> terminates specific processes if they are running (AV/security
related), and contains code to deliver a denial-of-service attack
> against a remote machine (the target is hard-coded within the worm),
the company warned.
>
> McAfee warned that the virus is capable of terminating the virus
scan programs before any scanning/removal can be done and
> recommended that infected users use the Stinger removal tool to
disinfect systems.
>
> In an advisory, anti-virus firm F-Secure also upgraded the new
worm -- dubbed Yaha.K -- and warned that the worm looks for e-mail
> addresses in Windows Address Book, cache folders of .NET and MSN
messengers and in Yahoo Messenger profile folders. The company said
> the worm then sends itself to all e-mail addresses and composes
several different types of e-mails with different those messages,
> subjects, bodies and attachment names.
>
> F-Secure noted that the worm can change the default Internet
Explorer startup page to point to one of several sites owned by
hacking
> groups. Yaha.K also tries to create a denial-of-service attack on
the infopak.gov.pk Web site.
>
> To disinfect a system, F-Secure said three worm files must be
deleted and a registry fix applied
