Thousands could lose internet access July 9 due to virus | Sympatico.ca News

I clicked on DNSChanger Malware Checker - Détecteur de maliciel DNSChanger & found I wasn't affected, thankfully. But of the 650,000 machines worldwide - that's a scary thought & that they've (the virus creators) have netted over $20,000,000!

 

Is it sad the only thing I would truly miss is CL and blazerforum!!

 

Indeed im lost with no internet

 

and ebay...cant forget ebay

 

yes...blazerforum is my mental crack and craigslist is my wallets Kryptonite!

 

Well said warthog!! And yes Ebay too!!

 

Its all part of the end of the world. Without internet people are going to start going outside more and we areall gonna be eaten by zombies

 

Ill get the shot guns ready and the ammunition

 

It's a scam man. Don't listen to this DNS crap. As long as you have anti-virus, anti-spyware/malware and a good sense for the internet you will be fine. By good sense for the internet, I refer to not opening a random attachment without scanning it first and not giving out personal information when a company "sends you an e-mail asking for personal information." That is the biggest scam in the book. I'm not worried at all, you shouldn't either if you have the basics to protect you.

 

the funny thing is everyone i know who is a computer nerd says that anti-viruses are the reason for all the viruses we have and to not run any. so i havent ran antivirus in like 3 years and havent had any problems since. before then it was like every 3 months i was getting something. i do scan with spybot and adaware like every 2 months and never get anything.

i back everything up and my computer is so old i welcome some hard drive exploding virus to blow this turd up so i can buy a new one
