Can't access many sites, just get hung up and have to reboot. Sorry. Thanks to all who have been pinching and posting stuff from Lucianne.

I just got a message on my computer at work that it was attacking another computer on the net. Ooops.... They had checked it out yesterday, but evidently this virus hides well.

I have been booted off as much as I am on...will add a few posts then log off, this is so aggrevating!

Well, I won't be doing much paid work today. Because my machine was attacking a another web server, they have stopped all dial-ins today, because my machine may not have been the only one. Somehow a couple of the machines that are used for dial-in purposes (telecommuting) have been infected. They are trying to figure out how since we were supposedly protected.

My machine here at home is fine, but then I use a different firewall than the company. Odd that the virus didn't find that direct pipeline into my computer.

indeed, the nimda virus is creating havoc.

My system is acting up as well, but not as bad as you guys have described.

Very slow to surf, that's fer sure!

Apparently, the virus wiped out a bunch of city, county and state sites over the last few days. Could have something to do with it, I suppose.

My computer is working fine. I have had alot of pings but my firewall has taken care of me so far (as I knock on wood). I get a bunch of alerts when I come here.

Apparently, it's not my cmputer but othe sites--or perhaps my ISP. It's bad this morning, hanging up on Intelliads at Lucianne, can't get in there. Thanks for digging out some good stuff, Mags. I NEED my news fix!
