Hall researchers:

Early real estate record of Acqilla Lowe to Samuel Hall, Oct. 26, 1795 - 100

acres on Beaver Creek near Clinch River.

This was one year before Thomas Hall and his wife Nancy Hayes settled in

north Knox Co. Does anyone know who this Samuel Hall is?

Subject: Re: HALL

I do not know who this Hall is. There is no evidence that these two are related.

Thomas Hall lived in Orange County North Carolina. According to the wills found

there his father is David Hall. He has a brother named Almond Hall that later

shows up in Tennessee. The only connection would be if Samuel was the brother of

David and I cannot prove that. Most information on Thomas is his DAR. and his

application for a pension. All information found in Knox County. All of his

children are listed included dates of marriages marriages and death dates.

Subject: Fwd: NORTON ANTIVIRUS EMERGENCY NEWS BULLETIN!

I don't often forward virus announcements, since they scare the kaka out of

everyone who receives them. But, this has been a big week for Norton

announcements.

I believe some of y'all use Outlook, so this week's spawn of Satan will

potentially affect you..... Seems this is what the hackers want to give us

all for Hanukkah and Christmas.

>W32/MYPICS.WORM Y2K VIRUS DESCRIPTION:

>* A new, destructive Y2K virus has been discovered that disguises

>itself as a Y2K problem. W32/Mypics.worm is a computer worm that is

>received as an email attachment disguised as a picture.

>* Once it infects the host computer it attempts to send itself

>using Microsoft Outlook to up to 50 people in the users' Microsoft

>Outlook address book. It also changes the Home page in Internet

>Explorer to a site containing adult content.

>* Additionally, on Jan.1, 2000, the worm will overwrite the

>checksum data in the host computer's CMOS memory so when the system

>is rebooted the user will think that there may be a Y2K related

>problem with the computer's BIOS. Once the computer is restarted the

>virus will attempt to format the local hard drives and erase all data.

>CHARACTERISTICS OF INFECTION:

>* W32/Mypics.worm arrives in an e-mail, with no subject line. The

>body of the message reads, "Here's some pictures for you!" The e-

>mail message contains a "Pics4You.exe" attachment that is

>approximately 34,304 bytes in size.

>* Once the user opens the attachment, the worm loads itself into

>memory and executes by sending out copies of itself attached to e-

>mails addressed to up to 50 people in the users address list.

>* In addition, it modifies the system registry to load its dropped

>file "cbios.com" on system startup and also changes the user's home

>page in Internet Explorer to

>http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/8279/index.html

>a site that contains some adult content.

>* On Jan. 1, 2000 or on any day during the year 2000, the worm

>writes to the computers CMOS memory to invalidate the system

>integrity or checksum data. The next time the system is rebooted, the

>user will be warned that the "CMOS checksum is invalid," making the

>user believe that it is a Y2K problem, not a computer worm. After

>validating the CMOS data the computer will continue to boot and if

>the file 'cbios.com' is located in the root directory of the C drive,

>the virus will silently load itself and then completely reformat the

>D: and C: local hard drives.

>VIRUS RATING:

>Medium/High Risk

>RECCOMENDATIONS/PROTECTION:

>* Do not attempt to open the attached document.

>* Download new definitions set. This will be available late

>December 3, 1999, through Symantec's LiveUpdate feature or from the

>Symantec Web site at www.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html. Update

>virus anti-virus software to ensure protection against both variants.
