DO NOT CLICK ON ZAC'S LINK. There is a DNS Changer trojan on the loose for today only. The link is spam, anyway.

How do you know that if your computer's OK and seems to be working in an OK manner? I don't care anyway about the link. What's a DNS Changer Trojan?

I looked at Zac's profile, and it had nothing but text and numbers on the fields. Nothing to be worried about, but it's the link I'm weary of. I already reported it.

Anyway, a DNS Changer is a trojan virus that hacks into your DNS and hosts file system to block the computer from accessing the internet. There is an article about it, link here: http://www.examiner.com/article/new-dns ... uly-9-2012

This board is attracting spambots now?!

It has been for years now.

Two years ago I banned a huge IP range from some wireless network in India that was spamming the everloving quack out of Atlas. The flow of spambots is much, much slower now - but it's up to Qyzbud to put the final few nails in the coffin...

What? The internet's blacking out?

EDIT: Sixty-fourth post!

[Simion32]

Only computers affected by the DNS Changer virus will loose internet access.

The media likes to doomsday-spin everything...

Thank goodness...

I guess this thread is done, then.
