Right now my network chocked there, after I switch the MAC and get a new
IP, it works again.
Something really weird, my icedove, 6 hours ago popped up an email which
was 2 months ago as unread, couple of mins ago, it also popped up
another email as unread also from that thread, the same person with
yahoo address.
I asked my another colleague and was suggested to do the virus check.
right now I am checking which package can be used to scan the virus.
