Subject: This no an ADD. Scan your Own 'Virus'
Sitting here, quietly reading.
Delete is easy,.....sometimes too hasty .
Have seen many , many virus messages over the last two or three days!
There are, from the notices at the bottom(end ) of all emails from list owners a specific
message regarding 'Virus" messages along with
the statement that Viruses can not be sent through or from the lists because messages are
scanned before delivery.etc.
Rootsweb and related mailing lists would not exist if this were not so.
My PC, has been playing 'up' for some time.
This week after reading all these emails regarding these virus;
I went to an 'expert' for confirmation that my PC was not infected or could pass
on any thing, even though I have the latest detection and 'cleansing 'up dates
automatically set up on my system.
This cost me $30.00 NZ. for 3 hours investigation. ( His usual rate is $60.00 per Hr. He
became extemely 'bemused' ( for the want of a better expression) by the whole
thing .
If my understanding of how lists operate and having no fear......
It is surely the individuals responsibilty to maintain their own systems
health and install their own warning system.

Sorry if all Lists receive this.
Lets get on with it!
