You may want to check and see if your computer was hit with DNSChanger.
Here is the link for info on what happened and what you can do to check it
out. Not a scare tactic, just normal everyday happenings of sick & greedy
minds.

Not a scam. I heard about it yesterday on the local news. They had a link to this FBI site which tells about it.

Here is a quote from cnet.com. What I want to know is has anyone found their computer infected?
| Quote: |
... As a U.S attorney said in an FBI press release, the crooks "were international cyberbandits who hijacked millions of computers at will and rerouted them to Internet Web sites and advertisements of their own choosing -- collecting millions in undeserved commissions for all the hijacked computer clicks and Internet ads they fraudulently engineered."
Late last year, however, the FBI disrupted the ring and seized the rogue servers. And since so many infected computers relied on the servers to reach the Internet, the agency opted not to shut them down and instead converted them to legitimate DNS machines.
Running the machines costs the government money, though,so they're being switched off in July. If your computer is infected with DNSChanger then, the Web -- for you -- will no longer exist. ...

Hi All
If you are concerned you can check your DNS by going to this site.
http://www.dns-ok.us/
It should return a single page with a green background.
