1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    That's what I was getting at, but I don't think it's a single tree... I think it's several people asking questions to a geneology site and for some reason it got forwarded.

    It's probably a virus. Sucks that you opened it.

    I saw a movie like this; you get this email, and if you read the whole thing someone will email you and tell you you only have 7 days to live.

    7 days from now a really nasty looking little girl will appear on your screen, whether you're loggeed in or not, and walk right out of your moniter and give you a wedgie.

  10. if a virus is coded in an image and you have yahoo or hotmail w\ defaults set (or many e-mail clients that shall remain unmentioned) the picture will be automatically loaded executing the virus, it's not difficult, jus unaccesable

    Only viruses that I get/have are from yahoo messenger/yahoo games. No less than 3 everytime that I run a virus scan. :confused:...?

    Hotmail seems to do quite a good job at deleting infected attachments before you get the chance to open them.
     
  14. Hotmail, another micro soft product <preagnant pause>
