Now, the server running Neo-Geo.Com is NOT suseptible to this worm, but the problem is that servers that are suseptible most likely surround it.

Basically this worm is generating a lot of 'junk traffic' to put it simply. So, the Internet is having a traffic jam of sorts. No clue when this will be resolved, I am going into the office myself to check on this briefly in the next hour.

Heh, thats why my dsl is so slow today I though it was my internet company, but now that I read this. It means most sites are infected even the biggest ones like <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">www.yahoo.com</a> because it takes about 1 minute to load.

I just created a post and it took forever to go through.
I thought I was going to get a frozen screen.
Everything was working perfectly until today.
