I've been seeing all over the news that a malware infection could leave a lot of people without internet on Monday. Basically, the malware reroutes your internet through a private server. The FBI caught the guys who were distributing the malware and replaced the servers with their own but on Monday they are shutting the servers down. If your internet is being rerouted because of the malware infection, you will lose internet access. The FBI brought in a team of people to deal with the problem and they set up a website you can go to and check if your computer is infected or not. There is nothing to download or scan or anything like that. They simply check to see if you're being rerouted through the servers that will be shut down. They also have instructions for what to do if your computer is infected.
Mine came up clean but I wasn't worried anyway. As stated in another recent thread, I just wiped my hard drive and reinstalled my OS so any malware that was there got cleaned off. Still, I checked anyway.
Here is the website you can go to.
