Surge of viruses...

Has anybody noticed a surge in viruses lately? Today I can not reach
my banking sites (e.g. Wells Fargo, CapitolOne, Bank of America). It sure
seems strange that these bank sites are out while I can get most any other
site on the Internet... and the NEWS seems quite about any Internet
problems.

I noticed a surge starting about Aug 8 or 10th of '03. Maybe some big
financial server was hiccuping today.
