Would the worm cause your email to download slow? I checked my mail earlier and it took forever to download. They were only text messages too, and only 4 total.

I have no idea. Have you opened any attachments lately? The only way to get it is to open an attachment containing the worm in an email. If you have opened suspicious attachments, you may want to update your virus program and run it to be sure you don't have it or to get rid of it. Norton Antivirus offers a 15 days trial version on their website I think.

The worm might be causing the slow download, but the problem is probably not on your end. (Unless you've opened strange attachments in the last few days). It is more likely that your ISP's mail servers are overloaded with all of the messages that the worms are sending out from infected computers.
