Just spreading the word on this. It is a DNS Changer that was created by hackers as an online advertising scam, that would make a users computer unable to access the internet.

Website to check if you are infected here: http://www.dcwg.org/ (just click on the green button in the upper left side called "Detect".
OR
You can just click on this site if you want the site in English and are in the US: http://www.dns-ok.us/

I just read about this in the Baltimore Sun.  I was gonna ask Homer, Mayhem & anyone else if they knew anything about this.  I don't want to go to that site clicking on stuff unless I know for sure it is safe.   magnifier.gif

So do you guys know anything about this?

I went to all the sites snap20 listed and they are safe, it shows you if you are infected or not and they all showed my computer clean.

Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eyewitness.
