Not your fault at all, and in fact, you might not even be the
problem.  These stupid worms and viruses only need to know your address and
it just picked up that you are somehow connected with HISTARCH.  I get the
same every once in a while that come through the Rootsweb genealogy lists
although they are unable to allow attachments through.  They are not coming
through the list, and I suspect the same here.  Some one that has all of
our addresses was hit, that is all.

The rule of thumb is to not open any attachment unless you know who it is
from and you are told previously to expect it (and that if you are sending
attachments, notify the recipient first).

I got "your" attachment and Norton which I had just updated did not catch
it, so I don't know what it is.
