MALWARE UPDATE!!!  JULY 9TH MIDNIGHT EST!

FBI  DNS Malware Check: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911

There is a type of malware (malicious software) called “DNS Changer” that has infected hundreds of thousands of computers around the world.  The FBI has implemented servers to allow infected computers to continue to function . . . and has had these servers in place for over a year.

The US Government will pull the plug on these servers on July 9^th at midnight EST.  When the plug is pulled, computers still infected with the malware will be unable to use the Internet.  There is an easy test to find if your computer(s) is infected.

To test to see if your computer(s) is infected, visit the following FBI Web site and select the top link (URL) in the list (“maintained by the DNS Changer Working Group”):  https://forms.fbi.gov/check-to-see-if-your-computer-is-using-rogue-DNS.  You should be immediately directed to a Web site where you will find if your computer is infected by the “DNS Changer” malware.

Here is a link to the issue from CBS in L.A.:  http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/04/23/fbi-dns-changer-victims-could-lose-internet-access-in-july/.

The FBI has more information on the issue at this link:  http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/november/malware_110911/DNS-changer-malware.pdf.

If you use your computer in multiple locations, you should run the test while connected to each network.

Please pass this information on to everyone you know, as, if they are infected and do not correct the issue before July, many of their repair options will be unavailable (as they will no longer have Internet access).
