Internet shutdown?

[Forever_frost]

Bullshit. Backup your data and reinstall if its so fucking tough.

Our company cleans malware of pc's all the fucking time and there is no malware that cant be removed by a reinstall of the OS.

Only people who are going to be affected are the dumbfucks who are too lazy to fix their shit. And that goes for it admins as well that dont have a grip on their networks.

I have zero sympathy for people who are affected by this.

Problem is, the virus keeps you from knowing you have it, disables your antivirus, changes sites you visit to other ones and wont' allow you to get updates from Microsoft.

If you dont notice that you are getting redirected to another site, popups or that your AV is disabled, turn the computer off and go read a book.

Are you really that fucking stupid you will continue to argue your point? I hope your computer is one of the infected so you can stop polluting the board with your drivel.

Shit, then buy a mac and join the rest of the dirty hippies at starbucks.

I bought a Mac in early 2010....quite happy about that decision, but I'm damn sure not a hippie and I think Starbucks is WAY overpriced and overrated. I really don't understand why people continue to associate Macs with hippies and Starbucks. Most people I know who bought Macs did so because they were fucking fed up with the neverending virus and malware attacks.

Damn, who pissed in your Post Toasties? My computer is running all sorts of stuff to protect me. But not everyone keeps track constantly of if their spyware/malware and virus protections are running and looks at the bottom left of firefox to see if the link you're clicking is actually where you're going everytime.

Actually, anyone with infected computers will lose access to the internet. Reading doesn't own me at all. And you can't clean it, the virus won't let you. So the FBI is pulling the plug on those 'infected' and your access to the internet.

Considering businesses and private individuals use the net for commerce and communications this is going to be hell for a lot of people. And things are never as they seem. You do this once, you set precedent and it'll happen more and more.

Well, with corrupt DNS, you technically never lose access to the internet.

You just can't type in dfwmustangs.net and be there, you'd just type 65.99.194.65 or whatever other bs is needed to get to the page served up.

L1-3 is there, hell all the layers are there.

Mine's working.

"Connectivity will be lost to the Internet PERIOD," Symantec, the online security firm, said in a blog post. "If your computer is still using DNS entries that are pointing to the FBI servers on July 9, you will lose TOTAL access to the Internet. No connecting to the office from home, no updating Facebook, nothing until the DNS settings are fixed."

How many computers have it?

It's unclear how widespread the "blackout" will be. According to a working group set up by security experts, more than 300,000 computers remained infected as of June 11, including 69,000 in the United States. Last week, 245,000 computers were said to be still infected with the so-called Alureon virus, according online security firm Deteque, including 45,355 U.S. machines.

Wired estimates 64,000 U.S. users and an additional 200,000 users outside the United States are still infected with the malware, "despite repeated warnings in the news, e-mail messages sent by ISPs and alerts posted by Google and Facebook." According to Internet Identity, another IT security firm, "12 percent of all Fortune 500 companies and four percent of 'major' U.S. federal agencies are still infected with DNSChanger malware."

But it's also unclear how many of those machines are still in use.

The Internet will never shut me down. Because malware will never exist on my computer

Holy fuck. Very soon, on of his executive orders will declare himself dictator.
