Is the FBI going to shut you down tomorrow?

check here to see if you have this virus thats going around

yeah this is why my work is busy

people should have dealt with it last year

but instead everyone waits until the last minute and panics

i am green
does that mean im safe

Yes, you are being monitored without a problem.

I love the disclaimer.

Nothing is spreading. It's actually a pretty old (5 years) virus that changes your DNS settings to redirect you to malicious websites. The FBI put up a workaround to redirect the redirect because of how widespread it was, but for whatever reason those servers are being pulled down tomorrow. So if you don't have it, don't worry about it. You're fine. If you do, you better get that shit cleaned up tonight.

And the website is down.

they are shutting down the DNS redirect tomorrow so the people who are infected will actually have to get their PC fixed now

this is old news that is just getting lots of media hype

1) virus comes along 5 years ago.

2) malware changes the DNS and redirects the user to malicious websites (run by the virus ring) to defraud them.

3) ring gets broken by the FBI

4) so many people have the virus, FBI keep the malicious servers running, but use them to redirect the user to the actual legitimate websites as a temporary fix.

5) keeping all those servers online costs money and ultimately is not the FBIs responsibility. its not the FBIs fault you have Malware. so the FBI are shutting the servers down on today.

6) if your pc is infected, it cant access the servers and you will not have server access, are your DNS will be changed by the virus and unable to connect to the FBI servers that were shut down. so the media latch on to this and claim the internet will break today and we'll all go back to the stone age, because hey! the public dont know any different and its a hot story. if you are clean, life goes on as normal. if you are infected, no internet for you. thats why all these checker websites have popped up.

oh, and turning your PC off for the day will do jack shit. if you have the virus you have the virus, when you turn your PC back on on tuesday you wont have any internet (shock horror) because of the virus that is still on your computer.

that is exactly what i've been telling my customers

"we are an ISP sorry your PC is riddled with viruses"

You work at an ISP? I'm sorry man, its gonna be a rough month or two for you. Fucking whiny customers >_>

HAHAHAHAH! Im sorry Manilla, but I am just laughing at your misfortune right now. And its only going to get worse for a good month or so! BWAHA

Pretty sure the server/computer/whatever that keeps my schedule for work is down. Can't get to the website because of some DNS issue. Hasn't happened before today. -_-

The customer is not always right

Call your ISP.

and we tell all callers that PC maintenance is not supported by the internet service provider

yeah we get a few calls but it's not our issue so i could care less

I'm all clear, no surprise.


Am I the only one who relies on Windows Defender and doesn't have a problem? Mostly since I run Avast and MalwareBytes too

well, duh. That's juyst kinda...like, obvious, right? I hope so.


but SiteAdvisor...that's news to me.

I only use Windows Defender and run malwarebites if something is screwy.

I also use web of trust but go to the red sites anyways because I like to live on the edge.

What is Web of Trust?

Something you should have if you have the internet. Basically blacklists sites that have scams or malware. Although some people abuse it and rate sites low because of their beliefs(like Westboro Baptist Church).

www.mywot.com?

yea I use mywot,adblock+,antivirus plus windows defender and probably a bunch else I don't realize I have running XD

Im surprised im not affected by this.

I don't use anything but Malwarebytes, and Avast. All my firewalls on my laptop are off(for old LIVE reasons and been too lazy to fix). And I...um visit certain adult sites on a regular basis.

Never once have I gotten a virus that completely ruined or harmed my computer.
Yet my friend looks at porn once and completely ruins his laptop.
