That's right: Your Internet connection may not work that day because the safety net now in place from the FBI against the malware will be removed then, and if your computer is infected, you won't be able to get to the Internet. <snip> So, what do you need to do? Make sure your computer is clean. You can do that first, by visiting this FBI-backed website, DNS-OK, which will tell you whether your computer is infected with DNSChanger malware. The FBI says that if you see green, that's good. Red means you're infected. Still, the bureau notes, some systems that appear to be clean may appear that way because of their service provider: "If your ISP is redirecting DNS traffic for its customers, you would have reached this site even though you are infected." So the next step, definitely if you're "red," but even a good idea if you're "green," is to go to this site, run by the DNS Changer Working Group. The DNS Changer Working Group will detect whether your computer has been "violated," and if so, will point you to the right fix for your computer.

I think I got it from one of my news feeds on iGoogle. Then my father sent me a text to remind me to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
