If anyone receives an e-mail that looks like it came thru the Jefferson Co.
rootsweb list, and it has an attachment to download, (I received them with
these endings--- MPG3.pif and SETUP.DOC)----- DO NOT DOWNLOAD and open.
It is the W32.Badtrans virus. It looks like official list mail with a
previously discussed topic, but it generates itself from someone's infected
e-mail.
DELETE it immediately and reply to the person who e-mailed you by deleting
the underscore ( _ ) at the beginning of their e-mail address. Tell that
person to run a virus scan that their e-mail is infected.
