Worm infestation plagues servers,
PCs
Many companies worldwide saw Internet
bandwidth slow to a crawl Tuesday, as a new Internet worm
flooded PCs and servers with its attempts to spread. While
many companies connected to the Internet seemed unaffected by
the worm, others said the damage ranged from nuisance to
full-fledged outages. "It seems to randomly be going through
every IP (address) of my network," said Ian Neubert, director
of information services for online telecom equipment seller
TWAcomm.com, which found itself inundated with scans from
infected machines. "This is ridiculous." The worm, which
appeared early Tuesday morning, spreads using a multipronged
attack and infects both PCs and servers running Microsoft's
Windows 95, 98, Me and 2000 operating systems.

and economical way than current approaches allow, according to

blocks approach to let users buy relatively small
four-processor Intel servers and then snap on up to 12
