Some Canadian Computers Could Lose Internet Access Monday.

Between seven to nine thousand Canadian-owned computers could lose access to websites, email and social networking on Monday.

At 12:01 a.m. Monday morning the F-B-I is going to shut down temporary servers it used to stop an online advertising scam.

The F-B-I took down hackers last fall and had clean servers installed to take over from the malicious servers so people wouldn't lose their Internet service right away.

But the replacements will be turned off Monday, and one expert from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario says about nine-thousand computers in Canada could be affected.

Associated Professor Thomas Dean says affected computers will start up, but when users try to access their mail or browsers, they'll get error messages.

The DNSChanger Trojan malware program at issue was created to redirect Internet traffic and hijack online searches.

Dean says about 300-thousand computers were infected, most of them in the U-S, Italy and India.

If your one of these 9000 canadians with this issue then perhaps you should rethink using a computer to begin with. Even my 80+ yr old grandpa knows how to run spyware/virus scans. Virus's are for suckers.

Is everyone still here? Anyone with this problem, please put your hand up..:)

Seriously though, I hope this comment is in jest.. Running virus scans is only part of the protection. There is no virus protection that is 100%, although some do a pretty good job, the best protection is still the carbon user interface..

At least some of the variants of this trojan/virus did more than alter your pc to redirect it through the Estonian servers, they made changes in your router to do the same thing, thus affecting all of your web attached devices.. Even if you cleaned all of your pc's you would still have the problem today if you hadn't reset your router to factory and set your connection parameters back up.

Stop stalking me. Either do some work (If you have a job) or go help your mom do the dishes.


Nah, I have one of those neat jobs where I am over paid and under worked.

Hawthorny is right Mike&C.

You do seem to have an unprecedented fixation on male anatomy and smells of all things.

If you did not want people to be aware of your strange fetish then you should not have been so obvious about it in so many posts.

I must say, some of your posts are rather disturbing.

No.

Are you getting treatment for your online turrets syndrome behaviour?

Hmm... interesting take there, Mike. Considering that you are the self professed ball sniffer on the forum.

But is it Mike? Maybe it's the "C" half of that equation. The question is, does the "C" stand for Carol or for Charlie?

Wow. I have totally changed my opinion of you since the "cheap wood" thread. In fact I think I might be in like with you.


You're fickle C.J.

I've got to go now. I need to find a place for a friend where he can get a really cheap root canal. Any suggestions? China town maybe? :wink:

Sometimes its too easy. Your attempt at humur is so one dimensional too.


Mike&Charlie,

Are you sure you are reading posts and responding to them?

Somehow I feel that if I asked you what day it is, you would say purple.
