Anyone closely following the news might have come across reports regarding netizens that would be disconnected from the Internet after July 9. Media calls this the "Internet Doomsday", and online campaigns asking Internet users to check their systems for a possible DNS Changer infection is, as of this writing, ongoing.
DNS Changer is a Trojan malware that changes the DNS (Domain Name System) of a system to point to rogue servers owned by the criminals. This way, users are redirected to fake pages of any website they visit.
This Trojan has been around since 2007 and it has infected hundreds of thousands of user systems
The site checkers are non-intrusive and Web-based, which means you don’t have to download a tool to have your systems checked. Tell your friends and family about DCWG so they can also have their systems checked.
Do make the check people no matter where you live. Go to this site, before Monday.
