I use the internet all day long at work - largely for work. Many of the secure sites I'm trying to access are down, and someone said it's 'cause of a worm. Anyone know what's going around?

That virus screwed up a lot of computers. It caused some blackouts. Now all the military computers have a stupid security upgrade. Makes life a pain while I'm slacking off at work.
