Please be advised that there are now several viruses in-the-wild now that are really causing lots of internet slow down as well as e-mail delivery issues.- W32.Netsky@mm (variant A to K)- W32.Sober@mm (variant A to D)- W32.Beagle@mm (variant A to K)- W32.MyDoom@mm (variant A to F)For more information, please visit:-http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.htmlhttp://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/Please be aware that most of the time users that are infected are NOT even aware that they are infected. So it is highly advised that users update your antivirus software and perform a scan of your pc to ensure that they are free of viruses.The major impact of most of these viruses creates unnecessary e-mail traffic to infect other users which may cause e-mail delivery issues. And infected PCs makes it easy for hackers to control your PCs and even stealing sensitive information. Geomancy.net makes all effort to ensure that our website, download and e-mail are free from any viruses. We feel that it is always good to keep our users aware of such issues so that you can take the necessary precautions.2. Site Changes to minimise impact & improve performance......................Our site is extremely popular with massive daily traffic increases. In order for users to continue to ensure a fast site, we constantly improve our site to allow users to enjoy our site. This means adding or upgrading servers when nececssary.- We keep our antivirus software and virus definition up-to-date to ensure our e-mails communications with users are free viruses.- We also added a separate dedicated incoming mail server to focus handling all inbound mail traffic. Reducing any impact of massive virus attack from affecting our main website and services.- Several fallback mail servers were also configured so that users can be more assured that mails sent to us will be properly received.- We re-distributed key sections of our website (ie www / forum / member area / mail etc) to different servers. This prevent one server's heavy load from adversely affecting the other so that users can continue to ensure our website and services.- Our servers are also setup with data redunancy with daily mirroring of data to at least one backup server can be configured to take over the traffic. And daily backup to ensure that we can recover from any major hardware failure with minimium data loss.We hope that you will continue to be able to enjoy our site and services better with the various changes.Feel free to contact us at feedback@geomancy.net should you encounter any problems.Hope that helps.Warmest RegardsRobert LeeGeomancy.net - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
