Most of you may have noticed a slowdown here and other places on the www Tuesday. The Chip Board server itself was not affected, but the chipguide.com server was drastically affected and that is where The Chip Board stores many of it's graphics.

I checked the Internet Traffic Report on Tuesday after noticing the slowdown and was very surprised to see that the whole U.S. was slower than I had EVER seen it before.

This was caused by a new virus. The FBI held a press conference that warned of this virus and CNN showed the warning on TV that morning.

If you are interested in reading a nice little article about this new virus then follow the link below.
