Can't connect the whole day.

Anyone have the same, or is it me?

I have read that quite a lot of sites have been down due to a massive virus attack worldwide...

Wow, All Out Attack.

Sounds like "war"...

Well, all war is hell.

Yes both us (netwings) and Simouthouse are having a bad weekend :-( I think our host have taken their servers down as a security measure. Simouthouse have been suffering from a Denial of Service attack for several days. They have been up today but it looks like they have just been hit again

Had to activate my version of XP today, but couldn't because the microsoft server was down. The helpful chap on the other end of the phone told me it'd probably up and running in 2 to 3 days. Did't seem to matter that I couldn't use my PC for all that time. I was also told I could reinstall windows if I wanted, that's get around me being locked out. How nice of them to let me do that.


Happiness is a warm hum.

Thanks Neil.

I hope you all will be up and running soon again, although I can understand that running a website is hardly fun anymore.

I fail to see the fun as well in releasing such viruses. It is such mindless vandalisme. These guys are such losers.

In Denmark or Norway one virus spreader was sentenced to two years of cell!

That is the way to go.

I got the Haptime virus a couple of days ago. Lost all my documents at work due to a virus. I am right to conclude that there is an explosion of viruses all over the world?

Many of my friends and colleagues have viruses as well!
