Computer virus?

[bcubed72]

I had been having issues with sluggish internet when FTP went down. I briefly considered this a virus until I logged onto 2+2 and discovered the truth...So I ran a virus scan that came up empty.

Today, my internet went down, followed shortly by my FTP connection. Looking at my virus protection (McAfee), I noticed that it is considered "moderately" old.

So, my new belief is that I caught a virus too new to be found by my current copy of McAfee. But, since I need internet access to download the most recent iteration of McAfee, how do I accomplish this?
