Hi Malcolm,
I received the Microsoft one today and although I have Norton AV it did not
show that it was a virus. Someone a few days ago warned the list about it so
I did not open it.
Thanks for the note it will now go straight in the bin.
Thanks again.
Regards
Lloyd

Hi All,
Just a little reminder - there are a number of viruses doing the rounds at
the present, and it's clear that a number of subscribers to family history
lists are getting hit.
You can't get a virus from a Rootsweb list, but they are getting smarter
at
finding email addresses on people's machines to help them
propagate
themselves.
One particularly sneaky one is masquearading as a Microsoft "Internet
Security
Update", and has as an attachment the file q216309.exe. This one
should be
deleted straight away.
As always, be very suspicious of any emails with attachments, ideally get
yourself a good virus checker and keep it up to date.
Cheers,
Malcolm
