Virus stops me from Unicyclist.com

[teachndad]

for the past 5 weeks I have not been able to get to this site while at
work. I'm a unicyclist.com junkie. There, I said it!

I look forward to skimming the forum at lunch to get the latest.

Then 5 weeks ago, I started getting a message about "this site cannot be
reached."

Turns out it is a virus. I just have to wait until they can figure out
how to get rid of it.

Below is the text from an email message I got from tech support.

Here is the information I get from our networking group.

This is caused by the virus that affecting the whole school district.

There's always the newsgroup (assuming you have access from work).

If not that, the email list. Is it still "[email protected]"?

Yes and no. The newsgroup is always there but not always connected to
the web-based forum. I have stopped complaining about it.
