some History....
Same here .. My computer was attacked just the other evening, but thank goodness I have Norton and they stopped it dead in it’s tracks. It was an “Executable file download”.
Hmmmm ..?? I’ve been wondering why my RoadRunner was acting up. I used disk clean-up as well as cleaner.com and then defraged a couple of times. It seems much better today.
There are FReepers using Time Warner?????
In order to bypass the problem I see no reason to use Time Warner’s DNS servers on a client machine especially in the short term...lists of DNS servers from all over the nation/world are readily available online. Substitute the automatic or ISP-assigned DNS values for hard-coded ones of your choosing and off you go.
It may be a minor violation of netiquette and possibly a violation of TW/RR’s TOS but TW/RR probably have bigger fish to fry right now and the substitute DNS servers should be well up to the task temporarily.
There is not reason why you should use Time-Warner’s DNS servers just because you use their internet, and they certainly don’t care whose DNS you use.
There is free open DNS available to however wants to use it:

OK, seriously. No kidding. I would support the death penalty for someone who deliberately launches one of these viruses. Denial of service attacks,, maybe a long jail term?
But for a virus,,DEATH!

Great DNS replacement. Also lets you filter all kinds of categories of content and lots of malicious websites.
They should do something constructive like a short documentary of the usurper-in-thief and the eligibility questions.
