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
Just received word from my mother-in-law that she received her virus from
the Minister of Health in the UK so it just goes to show you can't trust
anyone.
Be careful.
Take care

still weeding through a mailbox of emails with viruses attached to them.
Seeing as I have received this virus THREE times in the past 12 hours I
think it's time I warned you about this one.
If you receive a message with an attachment and the message body is blank DO
NOT OPEN IT!!!
Description:
W32/Badtrans-B is a worm which uses MAPI to spread. The worm arrives in an
email message with no message text. The attachment filename is randomly
generated from three parts. The first part is taken from the list:
FUN
HUMOR
DOCS
S3MSONG
Sorry_about_yesterday
ME_NUDE
CARD
SETUP
SEARCHURL
YOU_ARE_FAT!
HAMSTER NEWS_DOC
New_Napster_Site
README
IMAGES
PICS
The second from the list:
.DOC.
.MP3.
.ZIP.
and the last from:
pif
scr
If the attached file is run, it copies itself into the Windows system
directory with the filename KERNEL32.EXE and changes the registry key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce so that the worm runs
the next time Windows is started. The worm also drops a file named kdll.dll,
which is the password stealing Trojan Troj/PWS-AV.
If you suspect you have received a virus from a subscriber to this list
please email
listname-admin(a)rootsweb.com
with details.
Take care
