Networks Everywhere, Plagued by New Computer Viruses

Networks across the country have been harassed and sometimes halted by another onslaught of computer viruses over the past couple days.

Sample Stories:
SoBig Virus Is So Worrying for Computer Users
Asia Fights Back Against Spam Email Virus
Current Threats and Removal Tools

USFamily.Net has also been adversely effected.  Starting on about 8/19/3 our engineers began working day and night tracking down anomalous problems and complaints about "slow service".  While new viruses were not at first suspected that appears to be the entirety of the issues.  New permanent and temporary fixes have stopped the onslaught at present and our engineers will continue monitoring and addressing the hundreds (or thousands) of  unsuspecting users still transmitting more virus attacks.
