[G4] suspected viruis

[Steve Goldstein]

The numbers seem to "mesh" OK, but you surely are pushing through a lot more traffic as of late.  So, yes, maybe there is a worm active in your system.  Have you run any anti-virus software (Norton AV, Virex, others...)?  What do your mail logs or your inbox and outbox look like?  Anything in them to justify those much higher traffic counts?

Sometimes it is good some times it is bad. We did all the trouble shooting things. Talking to the IP tech out uploaded and downloaded numbers seem to be not meshing. (See below) and he says that it could be a virus. Wondering if anyone else has any ideas or thoughts on this problem. I just am real uncomfortable thinking it is a virus.
