Re: Has your computer been infected with DNS changer malware?

It's not that the virus will activate on Monday, but rather that its fake DNS servers will be taken down. If they're down then when it forces your computer to try and talk to them, it won't work, and your computer won't be able to access the internet unless you use IP addresses directly.

It's big news because its raised interesting questions about what law enforcement can and cannot do in terms of combating viruses and directly educating victims.
