(Real) Malware threat and screening
Okay, this DNS switching malware is only affecting about 1/2 million computers, but will be a real mess when the protections against it are dropped on July 9
It's super easy to check to see if you have the infection. Visit www.dns-ok.us; if you see a green background to the image on that page and the words "DNS Resolution = GREEN," you're safe. Here's the full story: The Virus That Really Will Kill Your PC July 9 : Discovery News

speaking of 'puters, my desk top started crashing big time a few days ago.
Yep, blue screen-O-death and everything. It wuz the video card going into the light. Slapped in an old card (128 megs o'vram, woo hoo!) and it's all good. I just ordered a new card with 512 megs, that's as good as I can get cause the MB only takes AGP. Yep, the 'puter is that old. Cost me darn near $40 with shipping but sometimes ya just gotta say what the heck. |

I must have an obsolete keyboard...can't find that last key on mine. I've never been partial to the semi-colon anyways. I'm a punctuation "purist" and since we don't have semi-periods and semi-questions, that's where I draw the line

Good way to scare folks into buying A/V software. The hype sells software and nobody ever remembers all of the "sky is falling" predictions of doom and gloom...
