Subject: [BIRD-L] Important message from List Owner (for COOK Co-Listowner)
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 04:45:53 -0500

I'm very sorry to bother everyone right now but this is very important.
Right now Rootsweb's list are being hit with Worm's, it seems some how even with the protection Rootsweb installed these worm's are getting through to members. This worm's are coming in as attachments and you all must remember a very important thing DO NOT download anything from anyone you do not know or didn't ask for. Especially right now if an attachment come through ANY message from a Rootsweb's list DO NOT open it, or look's like a message from the list.

One of the virus worms I know of is "party.exe". Here's another one,
W32.NewApt.Worm
To learn more about these worms and more please view the following;
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html
You can also type in a file name and it will tell you if it's a virus or not. There's a few other good virus sites out there, but I lost them this week when my computer decided to die on me :-(.

Another good idea is to make sure you update your Virus protection program, if you don't have one I suggest you get one now. I haven't used one in all the years I've been on the Net but tomorrow I'm going to go invest in one, I've deleted several worm files tonight from these four list I manage.

Thank You for letting me take up a few minutes of your time.

Happy Holidays,
Lisa R. Cleversey
