GOOGLE runs LINUX
I thought only Microsoft could catch a virus -- NEVER LINUX nor a MAC!
Just proves the point - the only reason that MS was getting slammed so much was because it was the leader (and still is) in OS.
Now that the other have so PUBLICLY gloated over the MS problems, they are now the targets.

Read up on MyDoom. Here, I'll help:
MyDoom Zeugma - my apologies.

Hate to burst your bubble there, but they were not "Infected", they were being bombarded by search requests from "Mydoom" infected (read MS OS), computers. Different animal all together.

Um... The virus is indeed attacking Windows computers. It then uses those windows computers as a usefull idiot to slam other completely uninfected computer systems with data.
Think of it as being like democrats using the virus of socialism to cause their nonworking liberal hoards to vote for tax measures that steal money from those of us that do work.

The nameservers used to resolve google.com are poisoned (but only from certain ip addresses):
Do a whois lookup on google.com. You may get back bogus info. If your computer gets back bogus info, it will have problems connecting to google.com.
If a nameserver has bogus info, then whether the site runs *BSD, Linux, MS-Window, IRIX, Solaris, OS/2, whatever, makes absolutely no difference. It's as if you got a road map with bogus info: you won't be able to reach your destination.
This is not a Linux vs. MS question.
