The FBI wants you to know about a computer virus called DNS Changer.  On July 9, the bureau is going to literally shut off the Internet for computers that are infected.  How can you tell if your computer has the virus?  Go to dcwg.org, that’s dcwg.org and follow the instructions.  Once again, that’s dcwg.org.  When you get there, just follow the instructions.  Even if you are currently using name brand virus checking software, you still need to go to dcwg.org and make sure that your computer is not infected.  If it is, dcwg.org has a one-click fix for your computer.  It is safe and it is easy.  This malware has been around for a couple of years and the FBI was going to shut down the infected DNS server back in March, but a Federal judge ordered an extension until July 9th so that the FBI would have more time to warn people about the shut down.
