Infected E-mails and Spam
Many worms, trojans, or viruses forge (copy) the "From" e-mail address, making them appear to come from someone you know (such as RootsWeb.com). Or, they may have a file name that would make it look like a legitimate e-mail address. Spam, or an infected e-mail might indicate a message came from RootsWeb.com, or from a mailing list at RootsWeb.com, when it didn't. An infected computer is sending these forged messages to you privately. RootsWeb.com cannot prevent these forgeries, nor the bounces for failed deliveries. To learn more, and for links to online sites that can verify your computer is clean of these viruses, click here.

How To Edit or Remove Family Trees (WorldConnect):
