The "Sobig.F" computer virus that began attacking e-mail systems globally Tuesday has been declared the fastest-spreading e-mail virus of all time.
Meanwhile, the Blaster and Nachi Internet worms continued to bombard corporate networks, having even caused slowdowns on parts of the Internet backbone. If you have experienced a slowdown on your high speed internet connection, this virus may be the cause.
"Sobig.F continued to spread aggressively Wednesday." said a spokesperson from CSN1 Technologies. "We will be monitoring systems throughout the SW Ohio area."

The Nachi worm, takes advantage of those users who have not applied recent software patches and upgrades. The Nachi worm first appeared last week, spreads. Microsoft disclosed the error and provided a patch to fix it a month ago.
"99.9% of the problems out there are preventable. People and companies need a service company to assist them in getting the patches installed before a widespread virus problem occurs. CSN1 Technologies provides virus and protection for your computers." said John Beagle of CSN1 Technologies.
Nachi will be a long-term problem if it isn't dealt with," he went on to say. "Computers and servers absolutely have to be upgraded with the latest patches."
