If your computer is infected, and you need to fix it

Hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide may have been infected by hackers in an online advertising scam and may lose their ability to connect to the Internet on July 1, 2013. 

However since that date has come and past, the FBI and Homeland Security has put together another Report and Warning stating that on or about the 1^st of July 2013, hundreds of  thousands (and perhaps millions) of people could become infected with a new virus designed to delete the Operating System on Computers, both personal and business.  Windows and Linux are particularly vulnerable to this new threat.

It is highly advised for individuals who have either Windows or Linux OS on their computers to check them here:   http://www.dcwg.org

Then, click on "Detect" in the upper left corner, or on the Green Button next to it.  At this point you will be directed to a new page. Pick your language from the list and click on the link next to it.

If your computer is not infected, you will see a green logo with the message: "DNS Resolution (equals) Green.”  Your computer appears to be looking up IP addresses correctly!"

If you see that message, you don't need to do anything more. You are safe.

If you see a message with a Red Logo saying your computer appears to be infected, you will be directed to a new page. You will be directed to websites that will provide antivirus tools that cyber-security experts have identified as being effective in removing the malware.  And they will provide you with further information on the case and the malware.

Please be Safe.
