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.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Thinking adding a page to my site or sites of nothing but links to our
Childers/Childress genealogy web sites. I was thinking it might be nice if
all of our web sites could be found at one mega Childers/Childress site. If
you want to include yours sent me your URL and I'll post it.

I've received two different titled attachments which I assume have viruses.
The names of the two files are: YOU_ARE_FAT!.mp3.scr and HAMSTER.DOC.pif
The two things these files have in common with each other are:
1. there are two periods in the file name
2. they are both the same size file, 29,020 bytes
Please check what you are going to download. If you are suspicious of the
name of the file, even if it is from your Mother, email the person who sent
it to you and check that they really wanted you to have it before downloading
it.

Reference the virus - Bob Sanders - Childress Research-List Administrator -
Bob,
Do you intent to post a warning on the Childress-Research-List as well?
Perhaps this would be advisable - Thanks -
Ted Childress
Received information from rootsweb about the current virus being sent around,
thought I'd let you all know the status:
Hi Bob,
This current version of the badtrans virus is really nasty. It "steals"
an address it finds in the infected computer to hide behind. So the address
used is not necessarily the address it came from. We are so swamped with
these, that we really can not take the time to search the headers for you.
Sorry. The best thing to do is to post to your entire list warning that
some list members are infected. Please say that the infected person doesn't
know it (some people get really mad and try to punish the infected person)
and that everyone should not open an attachment and should have a good
anti virus program. This link should help too:

To all my cousins:
I know this virus thing is floating around to a lot of people, one
thing to remember is that more than likely the person you got it from didn't
even know they sent it or had it!. This virus mails itself So don't blame
the person you got it from. It's kind of like getting the flu and then
blaming the person you got it from. I hate to see some one be "banished"
because of an accident. I would however give notice to the person the virus
came from so they can fix the problem.
I have Norton antivirus installed, and it has stopped two of the virus's that were sent out today,
one was from a Clete Ramsey and the other one was Andrea Smith, then yesterday I recieved on from the Lewallen mailing list? Why can't someone stop this from happening? it there a way they can track this down and do something that would prohibit these types of things from happening? I am so thankful I have Norton installed? Vickie
Apparently one of this list members is the nice person sending out the email
with the attachment bearing the virus. I received an email from
_shasha(a)succeed.net, alias Norman Spence, with the attachment file
YOU_ARE_FAT!.MP3.scr right after my posting went to the list saying I hadn't
gotten any viruses.
Don't worry Norm, I'll let the experts at rootsweb track you down:)
Bob
Hello to all my listers, hope this email finds you happy and preparing for
the Holidays.
This email is to inform you (if you dont already know) that virus's are
running rampant again. People continue to download attachments even though
they arent expecting anything....and they get a virus. That virus picks up
every old email in your file cabinet and sends it to every email address that
it finds.
Below is information about getting rid of these virus's, and on the virus's
themselves.
I am begging you all, please be suspicious any time you receive an email with
an attachment. Pretend you got home from work and found a pretty wrapped box
on your porch unexpectedly...that was ticking.

W32.Badtrans.B@mm
Discovered on: November 24, 2001
Last Updated on: November 24, 2001 at 12:19:48 PM PST
W32.Badtrans.B@mm is a MAPI worm that emails itself out as one of several
different file names. This worm also drops a backdoor trojan that logs
keystrokes.
Type: Worm
Virus Definitions: November 24, 2001
Threat Assessment:
Wild:
Medium Damage:
Low Distribution:
High
Wild:
Number of infections: 50 - 999
Number of sites: 3 - 9
Geographical distribution: Medium
Threat containment: Easy
Removal: Easy
Damage:
Payload:
Large scale e-mailing: Sends email from addresses found in the default MAPI
program.
Compromises security settings: Installs keystroke logging Trojan.
Technical description:
This worm arrives as an email with one of several attachment names and a
combination of two appended extensions.
The list of possible file names is:
HUMOR
DOCS
S3MSONG
ME_NUDE
CARD
SEARCHURL
YOU_ARE_FAT!
NEWS_DOC
IMAGES
PICS
The first extension that is appended to the file name is one of the
following:
.DOC
.MP3
.ZIP
The second extension that is appended to the file name is one of the
following:
.pif
.scr
The resulting file name would look something like this:
CARD.DOC.PIF
NEWS_DOC.MP3.SCR
etc.
When executed, this worm copies itself as kernel32.exe in the
"\windows\system" directory. It then adds the following registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Kernel32=
kernel32.exe.
Prevention methods:
1. Corporate email filtering systems should block all email that have
attachments with the extensions .scr and .pif.
2. Users should not open any emails with an attachment that matches the names
listed above. Any email that has such an attachment should be deleted.
Removal instructions:
1. Run LiveUpdate to make sure that you have the most recent virus
definitions.
2. Start Norton AntiVirus (NAV), and make sure that NAV is configured to scan
all files. For instructions on how to do this, read the document How to
configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files.
3. Run a full system scan.
4. Delete all files that are detected as W32.Badtrans.B@mm.
5. Remove the registry value listed above.

I have gotten a literal ton of e-mails with this virus. No matter how many
times you say it people just don't listen. DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS!!!!
DUH!!!!!
Patrick>
jfender(a)bellsouth.net sent the virus, too.
The software that stopped it from reaching me is: Postini Virus Assistant is powered by Trend Micro's in-line virus scanning.
In 1939 the WPA writers project when through courthouse records and
copied birth, deaths and marriages putting them in alphabetized order. At
least they did here in Indiana, I assume they did so in other states. Any way
I'll be putting all the Indiana Childers/Childress lists online and wondered
if anyone had other states they could sumit for this new site.

I received a message from suds91820(a)starpower.net (Susan Dannreuther) sent through the [CHILDERS] list that contained a virus. My system stopped it before it reached me. The message had a subject of "Mosby Childers".
Please check your systems and update your virus protection regularly!
Hello,
FYI -
These religious petitions were posted in a messaage also shown in
Childress Research-List archives at www.rootsweb.com - And I believe
the complete list for those bearing the names of Childress and Childers -
Ted
Boy the Childers must have been blessed with Lawyers or is that cursed? No,
really folks thanks for all the help. I thought that was the case. Reason I
asked was that I have a Thomas and John Childers that have a land patent
together. I have a John as ancestor however, Thomas had a son named John as
well. This John was born in 1797 and my ancestor John was born abt 1775. The
land Patent was in 1813. Most land patents I've seen have been for one
person. This double named patent threw me. My thinking is that these two, my
ancestor and Thomas are closely related. Any thoughts, opinions, idea's??
