The Chicago Public Library
has been hit hard by Sobig.F, and possibly by Blaster (LoveSan). From where I sit there was no reason forit at all. I have my suspicions about the demographics of the outage. Sulzer regional on the North (whiter) Side has at least some internet access. Woodson regional On the South (blacker) Side has been out for almost a week.

Since it takes about ten to fifteen minutes per machine to remove the virus, the worm, remove the registry keys, patch the DCOM vulnerability, and update the antivirus program. I wonder how the techs could spend hours at Woodson without bringing one of the ten access terminals online.
