The FBI is shutting down the internet server that has been allowing these
computers to keep working on the internet, not the computers themselves.
They aren't doing it to punish anyone. Only because they don't want to have
to keep paying to run a server to get around the problem. Hope this is
clear.

I was told that the f.b.i. has knowledge of the computers that have this
trojan and on Monday will shut those computers down. I went to dns-ok.us to
check mine and it's fine.

Hi Nancy and all,
I have heard of it. There is a virus out there called DNS Changer that
originated in Estonia. From what I understand it has affected a small
number of computer users and businesses in the US. It diverts your
internet path to somewhere else. You can go to www.dcwg.org and have your
computer checked.
I went there and mine is fine.
Jeanne

Has anyone heard about this loss of internet service as of Monday?
Apparently a lot of computers have this certain piece of malware that can
block your internet connection and the government has been protecting us
from it. That protection will stop on Monday, and many people will lose
their internet connection. The website Truth Or Fiction says this is
true. What do you plan to do about it for yourself?
