Has anybody heard about this, and would you allow a FBI security partner to run a program on your computer.
If the whole internet went down I wouldn’t feel as bad as I do when only FreeRepublic is down.
“Here is an instant check:

If you see green, you are good. Red background, not so good.”
OK what is that and what does it tell you?
It will probably be all conservatives.
yep, I am thinking about donating 1.00 to the DNC just to keep of the watch list
I was suspicious, so I did a little digging & found this:

Hi Anjullyn,
The bad guys behind DNS Changer were caught last November, but because millions of infected PCs were still being directed to the malicious DNS Servers, a court ordered that a private company take over those servers in order to give victims time to clean up their infected machines and reset their DNS settings to legitimate providers. Originally, the DNS Changer servers were to be taken down last March, but because of the number of users still infected, a delay was granted until July.
So, if you have a DNS Changer infection that is still unresolved, you may find that you will be unable to reach any websites after the servers are no longer operational on July 9. For more background on this, see Brian Krebs’ blog here:

To check your PC for DNS Changer, visit this site:

These comments from the Norton Community make me feel a little better... I will make another Post if I actually try this DCWG.ORG site

Does it stand for "Do Not Suffocate?"
Our local News gave out this web site to detect and fix if you have it.
The News source:
Dude. Wild turkeys can fly. The ones in west Texas sure used to look like they were flying.
“Gee, didn’t the Sons of Liberty meet in taverns and other places?”
I watched a re-run of the History of Beer on the UFO..er, I mean History Channel and beer’s popularity swelled during the colonial times when they did indeed, meet at taverns and openly mocked the limeys. At the same time while drinking beer, they concocted plans how to run the American revolution.
In essence, America and beer go hand in hand when it comes to freedom.

It might not be a bad idea. It would confuse them. LOL

(1) Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they’re easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.
The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn’t know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
Thank you! I did not know that.
I wish there were a LIKE button!!
Thank you! I did not know that.
I wouldn’t let the FBI within a mile of my computer or my house.
