On Monday, the MyDoom virus was released onto the Internet. Some observers have called this the most severe virus they have seen. Even if you're not infected, it has the effect of slowing down the overall Internet, and some web sites are already responding slower as a result of this virus. You can read more details about the MyDoom virus in this http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1466594,00.asp Another side effect of this virus is that it may generate a lot of Internet traffic from February 1 through February 14. Although ISPs are doing their best to avoid any slowdowns, you may still see slowdowns from sites on the Internet. We hope that you will remain unaffected by this virus. However, you should be prepared for longer wait times for the next week or so across the entire Internet. --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals
