    We got a new router several months ago, so no problems here.

    If I did, I wouldn't be posting, duh.

    But now I know a plausible reason why some sites went down at least.

    Mines fine as you can probably guess.

    The first I'd heard of this virus was Skynews running a report about it and how to check for it every 30 minutes today...

    Well, my computer considered giving me some grief, but then I calmly informed it that if it did so, I'd make sure to abandon Spacebattles in favor of those other sites we'd formerly agreed to never go to. After that it actually began working 20% faster than before.

    Currently using Common Sense 2012 on my computer, so I'm set with no worries.

  13. Hey, there's this big file attachment sent to me by a Nigerian prince, should I open it? Tell you what, i'll forward it to everyone I know first, then ask again.
