    Just came to know from the NEWS channels that The Federal Bureau of Investigation runs a maintenance check tomorrow on the Internet servers to remove the DNS malwares that many IP addresses has been affected with and there are chances Internet access could be interrupted.

    United States being the most affected nation followed by Italy and India


    Not much sure of these links but

    errors could be checked at www.mcafee.com/dnscheck

    and removed at www.dcwg.org/detect

    This has been reported for months. Most people have already taken care of it, I’d wager.

    When I checked a few days ago, there were still 60,000 or so infections in the US. That’s a drop in the bucket as far as the entire US population goes.

    But it never hurts to check.
