Big whoop.  Tomorrow, anyone infected with a DNSchanger virus (installed up to a year ago and dormant until tomorrow) can check with an FBI website (http://www.dns-ok.us/) to see if they are looking up IP's correctly.
 
I doubt it will be anything close to the issue the news is making it, but I thought I'd post the link(s) for those who want to check.
 
HERE is the organization that the FBI has been working with and HERE is some babble from MSNBC about it.

I heard about that and checked it out.  My PC is OK.  Just like Y2K.  

I was just reading about that. Seems like the type of thing you'd know if you had it. Doesn't it redirect you to sites trying to hock stuff?

Yes I heard about that, luckily it wont affect....wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I believe Beagle might have set Bapu's PC up with it so he can extend his narrow lead...

Another holiday?

Another holiday?

Only on days that end in "Y."

Where's Jonbouy?

I saw green.... but it wasn;t money.....

I think what it amounts to is, some large blocks of servers on the network are going to go down for a while. Everyone who had good security already probably only got a 404 error when they hit an infected server. I was getting that alot recently. I'm sure Facebook will affected since they are rank with bad ads. It's hard to say who and where the shutdown will hit. I tested green.
