This thread has a lot to do with network infiltration and an extreme lack of bandwidth available because so many infected machines are co-opting so much trying to make new friends. Since it affects the performance of at least local branches of the internet, and some sections of the trunk, it affects any connected system, Mandrake or not. If we need to discuss how to help neighbours de-worm their Windows boxes so we actually have bandwidth to use this "...has nothing to do with running Mandrake" is not entirely accurate IMHO. > 2) She really needs a firewall, hardware firewall prefered.
