Gee this thread took a twist....maybe I should have posted it in the computer section.
The reason I brought it up in the first place - I've had some trouble, very intermittently getting to some sites since Friday evening. Common sites, too. (nothing wrong at the sites) Then I was having some email issues. Plus Network magic tells me my internet connection is down, yet it really isn't and I can surf BITOG. I tried most of the usual local stuff. No help.
So Saturday I call my provider and the guy tells me there have been some very recent viruses, starting Friday that attack some servers that don't attack locally - but rather send constant hits on users. Fills the DNS and errors start occurring. Clearing DNS does help. He said the virus had not even been named yet.....I dunno, maybe he was pulling my chain. I searched the net for info. No help.
