If you receive or exchange files, images, or data, for your family tree research, you need to beware of fake messages and attachments which can ruin your family files and damage your computer.

 More -Virus Alert. It has become very common for malicious hackers to mimic emails, and even use a sending address which may seem to be well known to you. Our sites and email have been disabled several times. Such a false and dangerous message could appear to come from us! Sometimes these emails, which may contain no message, or a very short greeting which sounds friendly, contain attachments. The attachments when opened, then attach a virus to your computer. This virus may then become attached to all emails which you send out, so that you pass the virus to all of your contacts.

Please do not send an attachment to an email message to us, unless you have advised us that you are doing so. Exercise great caution when sending or opening attachments.

If you have not done so recently, please run a virus scan on your computer. First, download The Shield Pro 2007 from our link above. There are a large number of malicious hackers out there, prowling around the internet.
