I googled dns changer virus and saw articles which said the same thing from
CNN and PC Computing. My computer came out clean on both sites so I believe
it is a legitimate thing. Also, this is super Jaws friendly. I had less
trouble figuring it out than my sighted roommate when he checked his
computer. Screen readers win this time lol.

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones

Gerald,
Thanks for posting this. So after reading, I'm assuming this
test requires sighted assistance?

Hi list. There has been a lot of buzz lately about a virus
called DNS Changer that may have infected thousands of
computers and potentially prevent them from accessing the
Internet. Visit the Ask Bob Rankin web site below for
information about this malware threat, how to test your
computer to determine whether you have been infected and how
to get rid of it if you have. I clicked on the link given
on this site for testing whether my computer was infected,
and thankfully, the test page I was taken to was JAWS
accessible and reported that my computer was clean. This is
not a hoax but a real threat that should be taken very
seriously.
