Quillan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Just browsing through the web whilst waiting for some guests to arrive and I came across this article.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/9225276/Internet-doomsday-July-9-claims-FBI.htmlIf you want to check your OK (although hopefully your AV virus has done this already unless it's been corrupted) you can use one of the servers on the FBI website.https://forms.fbi.gov/check-to-see-if-your-computer-is-using-rogue-DNSClick on one of the servers and it will check your PC for you.

AnOther Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I somehow doubt that the server for this service can, according to the article, be 'costing tens of thousands of dollars to operate each month' !In any case the link given is simply a page on the FBI's website so is probably not running on a separate server anyway.I imagine the 'Fun & Games' section of the site cost a damn sight more, says something about their priorities doesn't it?

Mac Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Maybe I am paranoid but-would I INVITE the FBI onto my computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 If they wanted into your computer do you honestly think they would need an invite ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 That's because they are clever and don't get caught ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
