Have you heard about the new "malware" computer/internet virus that is supposed to "happen" so to speak on Monday and do you plan to take any action?

It’s been all over the local news here, and there is supposedly a link on the FBI’s website that can be used to “fix” your computer and prevent harm. I’ve chosen to take no action.

Answer #1

Malware the anti virus program ? I’ve had it for a few years.

Answer #2

No, this is a new virus that is supposed to shut down the internet for thousands and thousands of people if they don’t take action first through the FBI’S website. I personnally am not buying into it.

Answer #3

Me neither. Probably just a scam to get people to download something that’ll probably screw up your computer worse.

Answer #4

Well I don’t know. The story is that hackers have created this and the FBI is investigating. They have a link on their website to help ya fix it. I personally am not gonna link up with “big brother” just because.

Answer #5

Im currently fixing the same problem on another computer. It’s name - FBI moneypak virus (federal Bureau of Investigation) .. This virus blocked internet connection, task manager and etc… crap..if you need more info .. http://funadvice.com/r/1652tc73jkt

Answer #6

Thanks, but I took no action whatsoever and had no problems. I pay a monthly fee for an anti-virus pkg and it does a pretty good job, have never had a problem so far. Good luck to ya with what your working on.

Answer #7

YES it changes the DNS. It is supposed to affect 300000 people
