I ran across this article this morning having to do with a router worm
on certain Linksys routers. If it's infecting your router it may cause
bad performance. My own Linksys router wasn't one of the susceptible
model numbers but I decided I'd better go check to see if there were any
other firmware updates for my own model number (WRT54GL v1.1). In fact
there have been more than 1/2 dozen updates since my routher was new
(3-4 years ago)... for fixing other things I'd never heard of. Moral of
the story is that your router can be vulnerable to malware as well and
it doesn't matter what OS you're running since the router is out there
ahead of your computer. You might want to check the website for your
own brand/model of router.
