Google search engine sputters


Google stranded some Web surfers Monday, unable to meet visitors' requests for hours that afternoon.

At around 11:15 a.m. ET, the world's No. 1 search engine produced the message "server error" instead of a list of results when some users attempted to search the Internet.

A Google spokesman contacted by CNN/Money said the company had heard a report that the site was down and was looking into the matter, but did not know what the problem was.

The SANS Institute, an online source for Internet security training and an information security research repository, released an article Monday afternoon saying that the latest version of the MyDoom virus was behind Google's problems.

The virus, which started arriving in mail boxes Monday, uses search engines to find more recipients for its message, according to SANS.

Once the virus starts, it searches the user's files for domain names. Then it uses search engines to find valid e-mail addresses within these domains, said the article, adding that Lycos, Google, Altavista and Yahoo are all possible MyDoom targets.

On Monday, Google announced it would attempt to raise $3.3 billion in its initial public offering priced at between $108 and $135 a share.

Ok, it's down, so use another site? All sites *eventually* get server error messages... [yeah, it works for me now].

Edit: Yes, I can search, and I'll provide a screenshot if you want it.
