I was able to reach google US yesterday morning, but anything I tried to do a search on simple resulted in an error page, so it may have been affecting the US Google servers briefly yesterday as well. Google was fine in a few hours later.
 
This got through my McAfee this morning when I was on at about 2:30AM, but I deleted it. Mcafee had a new signature file loaded a little later.
 
these days...
mostly the Nigerian Banking Scam emails and that kind of thing...viagra ads...nothing i can use...
