Check your Tablets, Wifi Enabled Phones, Smart TVs and Game Consoles too........You should be able to access the above sites from the above Gadgets browsers..... In addition to modifying your computer’s DNS settings, the malware also looked for home routers to which the computer was attached and modified their DNS settings as well. Not only were the infected computers using rogue DNS services, but other devices in the household or office as well, including wifi-enabled mobile phones, tablets, smart HDTVs, digital video recorders, and game consoles. The criminals would change the web content that users downloaded to suit their needs and make money. If you think you have been affected by this malware, you do need to fix your computer. The malware tool kits used that change your computer’s DNS settings are very pervasive. Initially, the only way researchers could ensure that a machine was fixed was to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system from scratch. The malware affected the boot blocks on the hard disk of the computer, so even if people just reverted their operating system to a prior backup, the malware could reclaim the PC. Later on, several anti-malware software companies came up with fixes that removed software correctly. Some of them are listed below. [link to www.dcwg.org] |

Ummmm yeah, I just did the test and I'm green, thinking I would be red but since I'm not red and by the looks of it.. nobody else is so the chances of this being accurate are small. & also, it's probable that it's some kind of trap or false whatever. Anyway, yeah, I was dense enough to click the link too so what ever happens happens. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17087802 It is not a trap or a false reading, it is an official site to check for the DNS Malware. Many have posted that they have a green light, however it does say the following at the bottom: Had your computer been infected with DNS changer malware you would have seen a red background. Please note, however, that if your ISP is redirecting DNS traffic for its customers you would have reached this site even though you are infected. For additional information regarding the DNS changer malware, please visit the FBI's website at: [link to www.fbi.gov] Even with getting a green light, it is worth keeping all the information to hand, just in case your ISP IS redirecting traffic and you lose the internet Monday.
