A follow-up to the previous 'Operation Ghost Click' story, the FBI has issued a statement that on July 9th, 2012, any computer still infected with the malware will lose access to the internet, which could be about 300,000 computers! Even if your computer isn't running slow or doing anything 'out of the ordinary,' it would be wise to following this link ( http://www.dns-ok.us/), which will instantly let you know if infected and if so, how to remove the problem. It's believed that around 85,000 computers in the United States are infected and about 350,000 worldwide. The full story about the online scam can be found at CNN.com/tech
p.s. If you think that there's no way your computer was infected, just know that the malware made its way into NASA and other government agencies' computers!
