I haven’t heard a peep out of my internet provider or anti virus service.

Has anybody heard about this, and would you allow a FBI security partner to run a program on your computer.

A security partner that just registered their domain name on GoDaddy a few months ago? No thanks.

Taking away the Internet would lead millions, or at least hundreds of thousands, to start meeting their friends face to face instead of online.

Gee, didn’t the Sons of Liberty meet in taverns and other places?

The question becomes, would the federales prefer to have us talk online, where they can hear us, or at shooting ranges and taverns and bowling alleys, where they can’t?

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:

http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/03/court-4-more-months-for-dnschanger-infected-pcs/#more-14008

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

Norton detects DNS Changer as Zlob or Tidserv as explained here:
