Important: This is not a hoax !
An Internet Blackout for hundreds of thousands will occur on Monday, 7/9/12 due to malware that was planted in computers over a year ago. Just a quick click onto a website will tell you if your computer is safe or if it contains the malware. The FBI's DNS Changer computer shutdown is scheduled for 12:01 a.m. on Monday.
*When you click onto this website if your computer is free from this malware you will see a green background screen.
*If a red background screen is seen when you click onto this website, then the malware is detected in your computer and you will be directed to the quick fix webpage.

Don, good to hear your computer's free of the malicious 'DNS Changer' malware. When I first read the article, I felt a little anxious, so was relieved to discover after performing that quick test, that my PC's clean of that nasty malware too. Whew!
A little peace at last with the PC gone down, what a novel idea Scott, nice if it was for a week and not just a day.
