Knowing hardware and networks, though, it may be 24 hours before things are "peachy." If you send personal mail to me that goes unanswered for a couple of days, please send it again -- maybe try on Friday the 13th <g>.... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 17:39:36 -0400 From: "Clayton McNew" <cmcnew.wats.bar@worldnet.att.net> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] James C Luttrell This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_001F_01BFBB6F.E022BC40 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Does anyone on the list have anything about James C.

McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Please update your virus definitions Someone who subscribes to a list I help manage requested that I send a note out to my lists, reminding everyone to PLEASE update virus definitions. Apparently, the WScript.KakWorm virus is making its way through genealogy lists. I got a message that Norton Antivirus determined was infected a couple of days ago -- it had no attachment, so that means the virus code was embedded in the message text. I can't give you any details about the message, because I had to delete it in order to "unlock" my system. Think of us as a tight-knit community, and someone's got the flu bug. As long as we're working closely together, we're gonna spread the germs. You can either avoid everyone altogether, or you can wear gloves (euphemistically speaking, of course <g>). ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 11:12:17 -0700 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Fwd: Alert: fix for email worms that spread without opening attachments! Hope this doesn't upset anybody -- but it's important that this get spread around. I've already received one Kak virus-infected e-mail without an attachment -- Norton caught it -- and heard from several others who've received them through genealogy lists. One correspondent wrote to me this morning about the Kak worm: this is a mean one-even though nortons catches it -it will mess up your e-mail. my husband got it on one of his radio lists. it was very hard to get rid of-it built a firewall and would not let nortons scan it took forever to get rid of - the second time- my husband 's mail went in my in box - boy was i glad i had backed up- remind everyone to back up- you can lose all your records to this thing. Please read the message below...and take necessary steps to protect your data. Backing up is still the primary method, followed by wearing that antivirus "glove."
