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
Dear All:
This is a one-time heads up notice.
There are 3 new and one oldie and toughie
virii out "in the wild" Three are rated level 2
and one is rated level 1 ( low risk)
Please don't start numerous threads on the mailing list
on this subject. If there are more warning please
send direct to me for checking. Lets keep these
lists focused on genealogy. If you get an infected
message from someone then let me know so they can
be removed temporarily from the list.
All the AV software companies have updated their
databases. Norton just released their latest updates
this morning and could be more soon.
A: Get your virus definitions updated as of today ( and everyday)
B: They are purely an attachment virus ( so simpler to handle)
"don't open attachments"
Let's get ahead of this one and avoid the mess we had
two weeks ago :-)
See the following AV web pages describing the three
