bkuhr Posted July 7, 2012 #1 Posted July 7, 2012 http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/dns-changer-malware-300000-people-worldwide-lose-internet/story?id=16726397 I have seen it everywhere, paper, radio, internet. Appears if computer infected, you will lose access to internet on Monday when FBI shuts down these affected servers. Includes link to test your computer. Wondering if this might be cause of wierd operation some are seeing on VRO?
etcswjoe Posted July 7, 2012 #2 Posted July 7, 2012 The Malware is a DNS redirect, if you do not pay attention to the address the page actually takes you too you probably would never notice. I picked it up on one of my travel laptops when I was in MO since it was just one laptop I reloaded it.

calperin Posted July 7, 2012 #8 Posted July 7, 2012 If somebody has doubts you can check your DNS with http://www.dns-ok.us. Site is supported by the FBI and is a fair indicator, except your ISP has problems too. Good Luck.
Yama Mama Posted July 8, 2012 #12 Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) This could be a crisis situation. Mini Muffin has to write this next episode of AS THE WHEELS TURN. If our computers are all down, I will more than likely go into withdrawal symptoms. Does any one know of some sort of a support group for this ailment? Oh I am green!
