I currently have SP1. On the MSFT website it is the same
version. Of late i have been facing a lot of i.e. crashing
/ shutdown errors. Else it just goes slow. Is that an
Application Level DoS attack, or some worm? Also, if you
type a non existent Url it goes to website called xupiter
each time.

regards,
e
