Wow, first time i've heard of this as well. My phone might be ringing as well with computer problems. Will just have to see. But agree, good job to the FBI for running infected servers as to not inconvience the public. This is a good reminder to get my antivirus renewed as its going to expire in the next week. But both of my computers are secured.

Below information is for any member that still maybe
concerned. It's simple to check.

The websites set-up by the FBI:
*It's easy to check whether a computer is infected. It's as simple as just clicking on to this website that detects whether your computer is infected or not: http://www.dcwg.org <~ click this link (It's fast)

(Green screen means your computer is fine, red screen means malware is detected.)

Below is what I got when I checked..I passed & I hope every MCF Member passes 4-Sure

Your computer appears to be looking up IP addresses correctly!

Had your computer been infected with DNS changer malware you would have seen a red background. Please note, however, that if your ISP is redirecting DNS traffic for its customers you would have reached this site even though you are infected. For additional information regarding the DNS changer malware, please visit the FBI's website at:
