That internet worm

I've been having problems with that stuff lately, too.... 😛

You mean Klez? Yeah. I'm still getting it, mostly in my Yahoo! e-mail account. My Hotmail inbox is surprisingly clean.

Same here! I thought it was just because I haven't restarted Windows XP in awhile, only hibernating it, but I thought that was only part of the laggyness of my computer/internet connection. My favorite sites are (again) acting up and not loading half the time. I know it's not my firewall blocking them, but now I think I should have my firewall on all the time if there's still a worm virus going around.

I'd like someone to get any info on this if they can, because I'm really clueless about the whole thing.

The last worm i heard of was the Microsoft SQL server thing. Everything is cool here.

I don't see how Slammer would have affected anything this time, unless some nameserver admins didn't learn their lesson the FIRST time it hit. And if I recall correctly, when that occurred, it only blacked out access to some websites. Though I'm probably wrong on that 😛.

My guess is there's a slow or congested router along your route to the server you're trying to get to.

Slammer? Nope. I'm pretty much clean from that one. My defense? ONLY use web-based e-mail.

My home computer is pretty clean, I do a lot of web browsing and mail at school.

yeah I noticed the same thing. its only IE, but the reply message screen doesn't look right in Netscape, so I use IE to check here...
