PSA: Check your computer for DNSChanger virus before Monday, 7/9

July 6, 2012 | Filed under: News | Posted by:

Not our usual fare, but if you have no Internet access Monday morning, you can’t read our usual fare.

It’s something of a 21st Century nightmare — headlines are declaring that come Monday morning, thousands of people could wake up to a startling lack of Internet access all because of a crafty bit of malware. How chilling!

Well, it would be more chilling if people haven’t had plenty of advance warning. What’s more, the steps to detect and eliminate that malware — unimaginatively called “DNSChanger” — are relatively simple, so less-than-tech-savvy folk out there can take care of business with too much outside assistance.
