as most of you are aware of my ongoing problem with SIfy, today I got
hold of an engineer to sit with me while the Internet was down. He
found that one PC on the network was throwing virus and during that
period the Internet blacks out on GNU/Linux machines while Windows
are OK. He suggested, as he was not much expert on Linux. that when
my OS detects virus on the network, it filters the data thus stops
the connection. Could anyone please suggest if I need to change some
policies regarding this?


This does not make sense at all.. Machine does not throw virus.. OS does not detect virus. Internet can black out for various reasons. It looks to me like you are in a LAN environment. I do not know how the internet is shared between machines.. but the likely culprit is the internet sharing rather than virus.
