Dude, check to see if you've got the msblast virus, or one of the newer ones that are going around. Msblast does denial of service attacks on microsoft.com which prevent the host computer from connecting to it to download fixes and security patches to remove the bug, maybe the new virusesss.....virusi....what the hell is the plural of virus?.....do the same

Gramatically speaking, it's viruses. Virii is a sad script-kiddie made up word. Google for a solution to your virus man, somewhere non-MS should host it.

Viruses would indeed be correct, but Virii is also often used instead of Viruses, for both biological and computer.

No-one can. They block ICMP echos messages on their server.
