. In the subject line be sure to list it as "WEB PAGE - QUERY". My e-mail will separate those files and place
them in a special folder named Query. These files I will read daily and attempt to answer them right away.
Since I receive hundreds of e-mails each day, I don’t get a chance to read them all on the day that I receive them, so they are placed
in a “Read” folder and I will read them when time permits. Advertisements I delete withoutreading them.
By you submitting articles this web site will continue to be updated. It is my only hope of being able to continue with new data
and information for our readers.
If you have corrections that need to be made to any of the pages, please send them to QUERY, and I will make the changes as soon as possible.
In cleaning out my e-mail files I find that we have about ten to make changes on. Please list the web page number if possible. With over
700 pages, it is time hard to find the page to be corrected.

In Jun 2004 we discovered that someone had been using both of our e-mail addresses
to send out viruses. This has been going on for many months, but has gotten
worse during the past two months. It was discovered that during the two week
period I was sick and the four week period that the computer was in the shop for
repairs, the e-mails continued to be sent. My ISP has investigated it and
found that they did not go "out" through them, but cannot find where they are
coming from. I have received viruses from one address to the other, both
ways. Someone has found a way to use those two addresses.
Both of the following e-mail addresses listed on this website will be
discontinued.
webmaster@footprints.org and
DonWright@footprints.org
We are not sure if this will be a permant change or just for a short period of time.
What is important is that by doing this our readers will know that any e-mail
received from these addresses from this point on, will not come from this computer.
Some how, someone is using both of my E-Mail address’ to send out a virus.
These e-mails do not show up in my outgoing mail file. I took both my computers
and my laptop off line and sent them all to a computer service specializing on
viruses, checking for anything that Symantec may have missed. No viruses
have been found.
These worms spread by emails as message attachment with PIF
or other extension. Sender address is faked. Message subject and body
are randomly generated. The virus is also attached to e-mails with empty subject
and body. Name of attachment is random as is the extension.
All Out going mail from webmaster@footprints.org and DonWright@footprints.org
have for a number of years been scanned in the following manner.
- 1. Norton’s Symantec virus checker scans all of outgoing mail before it is sent.
- 2. Castles Network (my ISP) uses the Postini protection service which scans all
outgoing mail using McAfee’s Virus Checker.
- 3. A copy of all e-mail being sent, is also filed in my “Outgoing File”. None
of the e-mails (with the virus) with our return address on them are listed
in my "outgoing" file, which means they are sent from someone else.
