I am reminded of the FBI program from some months ago that offered people the opportunity to have their computers examined by the FBI to make sure it was free of some virus that was going to crash everyone’s hard drives.

Remember thinking at the time that this did not sound right, so I never did log onto their site to have them check my ‘puter. My husband did with his, though.

It’s not that I have anything on my computer to hide — or even anything that could bring me any embarrassment — it’s just that I don’t trust anything that the Soros Administration does. I hope they don’t clean out our retirement savings with the information they got from the husband....

You’re embarrassing yourself with that sort of paranoid nuttery. The site simply checked if your machine’s DNS had been hijacked and was using a GOVERNMENT DNS server they put up to defang a specific bit of malware. If your machine made it past that day without issue, then you weren’t infected.

If you need that explained in more detail I’d be happy to, or you can look things up yourself, but the bottom line is, if you’d been infected with the malware, your machine would have been talking to a government server all along.
