> RootsWeb's mailing lists are filtered and attachments are not allowed. A
virus that is distributed as an attachment will not reach you through a
RootsWeb mailing list.

> A recent virus, and several imitations of it, may result in your receiving
an e-mail (or a greeting card) with a virus attached, that appears to come
from RootsWeb or from an address you are familiar with. Some virus will send
a message to all the unread messages in the infected person's mailbox
folders; another will use addresses found in the infected person's address
book. They send messages using a forged address (for instance, using
RootsWeb or the infected person in the return address). The subject line may
be from a message that was recently received, making it even more credible.
While it may appear to come from RootsWeb, that is only an illusion of the
virus -- our address and the subject line is a forgery.

> What can you do? Protect yourself by never opening an attachment from
someone you do not know, or that look suspicious. If an unexpected
attachment comes from someone you do know, write to confirm that the
attachment was sent by them prior to opening it. If you have an e-mail from
RootsWeb, and there is an attachment of any kind, don't open it. Use a virus
protection program. Know what viruses are out there so you will recognize
one when if you get it. There are sites that will help you, including those
shown below.

> Remember, if you do not open the attachment, you can not get infected with
the virus. Delete it. Then empty the trash bin to make sure it is gone. If
you are using an e-mail program that stores attachments elsewhere on your
computer, such as Eudora, find it there and delete it too.
