Are you infected. May lose internet by July 9.

[zzzz]

Never hurts to check.

For computer users, a few mouse clicks could mean the difference between staying online and losing Internet connections this summer.

Unknown to most of them, their problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world. In a highly unusual response, the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users. But that system is to be shut down.

The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security partner, DCWG | DNS Changer Working Group , that will inform them whether they're infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected users won't be able to connect to the Internet.

Linux live cd. Problem solved.

Linuxmint 11 on main PC...Bodhi Linux on laptops...so you guys have fun, I'm not worried.

 

[The_Lone_Troll]

Quite frankly, you have to have pretty lame PC defences to fall victim to this one, or be a serious computer n00b.

[SoCalBadBoy13]

Leave it to the Federal Bureau of Idiots this is almost as scarey as the Y2K threat....not. If it happens, it happens, not like its frying ya PC. It will bring in business too from all those people that will be panicking about the connection...
