| Losing Internet in July? Have any of you professionals out there heard anything about this? Is it for real? And, why can't the govt. just release a list of the IP addys affected? Hundreds of thousands may lose Internet in July - Yahoo! News

| Yeah, I don't think I am going to willingly go to a FBI controlled site, click on "scan my computer" and give them access forevermore.  |

| The malware in question is legit and there are all kinds of ways to find out if you have it. The FBI just wants you to use their "partner" to find out if you have it. |

It's safe, just gives you a link to click on to verify your DNS server is not redirecting you to the wrong site. However, after you run the test, it puts up a message that basically says 'ok, it was successful, but this is no guarantee that you still don't have that bug'. Thanx for nuttin'. | ||
