July 9 might be “Internet doomsday” for PC and Mac users who haven’t taken steps to make sure their systems are not infected with what’s being called DNSChanger malware.

That’s right: Your Internet connection may not work that day because the safety net now in place from the FBI against the malware will be removed then, and if your computer is infected, you won’t be able to get to the Internet.

Let’s back up a minute to give you some quick background. Last fall, the FBI arrested six Estonian nationals who were charged with using malware and rogue DNS servers to hijack millions of computers worldwide.

At that time, Trend Micro’s Feike Hacquebord called it the “biggest cybercriminal takedown in history.” The company was one of several that worked with the FBI on the takedown, and described the scheme:




A variety of methods of monetizing the DNSChanger botnet [are] being used by criminals, including replacing advertisements on websites that are loaded by victims, hijacking of search results and pushing additional malware.

Thanks Eco

Thank you, sharing, moving. I already have problems like someone is playing with my computer and browsers. Strange events have been going on and getting worse.. It must have been something "We" said!

Friday May 25, 2012, 9:29 pm
Thx. Eco Warrior, my friend and thanks to Toni A. for forwarding to me but I already did my check on "Suggestions and Feedback". I came up GREEN so I should be o.k.

Thanks Eco and Dalia for sharing

Thanks for the info as I already got the information before the posting and I am safe in this department. I'm Green as can be. :-)

Saturday May 26, 2012, 12:15 am
Shared this with all my family and friends in my e-mail listings and the word goes beyond there warning others.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 12:45 am
Oh, this is wonderful people are taking note. Please remember, when we all felt at some point something bad will happen, like a poor bunny looking into the head lights of an on-comming-car lights.

Check it all out first, be mega careful on what you click on, open, etc. Its worth using a public computer too to check out web sites. A public computer has many update protections against virus too.


I will try to get time to post here again if I find anything that may help. Please also post here if you find anything too that may help others in any way.

Some say its a hoax, but it is better to 'notice and be aware, anticipate to expect the unexpected.'

Saturday May 26, 2012, 12:47 am
Please click on hot, note, forward, spread the word far and wide.

My beloved friend, Ben, how are you? I saw this and posted it. Important: Web Could Vanish for Many on July 9th, FBI Warns http://www.care2.com/news/member/779995973/3377713
HEADS UP WARNING. PLEASE FORWARD, DO NOT IGNORE.

Just wanted to also let you know, that there is a very nasty virus thats been going around and I dont know whats it called.

I cant find out, because it hides its self. It takes down or disables the anti virus stuff on your computer. I do know it seems to destroy everything in a very bad way, and some times the virus breaks everything in your computer for good.

Many do not know who to turn to or get help with the computer. What ever happens be very careful.

Its best if possible to get onto a public computer if possible in future if you know you are going to a unstable web site.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 1:47 am
Thank you Eco!!!!!!!! I just did a check to see if I have a virus and it came back green, which by Jon's posting, sounds like I'm OK. Is this just a matter of not opening anything or is there a way to prevent this and if I have several anti virus protections, does that help or matter?
Thanks so much for a response as soon as you get the chance!

Send a Green Star to John Cause

Sending a Green Star is a simple way to say a very giant "Thank you John Cause"
You cannot currently send a star to John because you have done so within the last week.

The up to date modern computers have a different storage system, back up system. Its worth going to one of your well known computer stores and speak to computer experts there. Please take the time to do this. You could try phoning first and if that turns out to be a utter wasted time and energy, please try visiting them or another one in person to talk to a computer expert because they are more likely to be able to help too.

A FRIEND OF MINE SENT ME THIS. THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU.


Also, please remember just as a consideration. The computers, high technical electrical equipment move so fast before the machines reach normal shops for sales. By the time you all have bought your first brand new state of the art electrical machines, those on higher grounds have more brand new stuff ready to be sold in eg. 6 months time.


Your brand new machine and all its parts becomes harder to find or it becomes obsolite. So think carefully how your new machine and its parts. I personally have had to buy a spare part eg. that type of plug for that machine etc. I dont want to tell you or advise you to buy anything. I just wanted to share with you a little how things are lined up and sold, and how it get harder and harder to buy parts for your electric machines after its been bought and owned for some time.

Thank you. I know I came up green but... I am worry because that my internet provider could change my IP address. Let see what's next.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 4:37 am
Noted, thanks

Saturday May 26, 2012, 4:56 am
I'm good on this machine but I will have to remember to check my other one during the week. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Saturday May 26, 2012, 5:07 am

Noted,,,Thanks...

Saturday May 26, 2012, 5:15 am
Thank you Eco have shared.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 5:34 am
I use Norton Internet Security 2012, and it does not let anything into my computer. Very best i have ever used, still I will deep scan with it just in case,thanks for the heads up!

Saturday May 26, 2012, 7:28 am
good to know

Saturday May 26, 2012, 8:59 am
Thanks Eco, and Abdessalam for FWD, clicked through all links, did all tests, I am clean as can be.
I imagine that when C2 recently went off for maintenance to have their DNS changed, it was for this very reason because they may have used an infected one previously.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 10:42 am
Thanks! Noted

Saturday May 26, 2012, 11:08 am
Good info...

There are other things that should "disappear" instead... lol...

Ty, Eco.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 2:13 pm
Thanks for spreading the word. Everyone should pass this information on to others.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 4:57 pm
thanks so much Toni for the forward and Eco for the post!

Saturday May 26, 2012, 4:57 pm
Thanks for the info. Shared on FB, too.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 5:45 pm
All the good reasons to run a decent security system (NOT Norton or Panda!) and to use a router and software firewall. Stupid crackers and their stupid spoofing DNS address servers... Mine shows uninfected.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 6:40 pm
Thank you! Mine came up GREEN, so hopefully this means it is not infected.

Saturday May 26, 2012, 8:05 pm
Well, my computer checks out. Whew.

I'm MAC on my home computers. Do I have to worry? Please inform. If "yes," tell me where to go and what to do. It's ALWAYS something, people. ALWAYS SOMETHING.

Sunday May 27, 2012, 12:28 pm
Thanks Eco, and Abdessalam for FWD, and yes, it's a good idea to use a public computer !

Sunday May 27, 2012, 12:34 pm
