Alureon Virus: Check if you have it before Monday.
Info: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ... onday.html
Super Official Info: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/no ... are_110911
Check if you have it: http://www.dcwg.org/?page_id=381
In summary: The virus makes your computer check a different server than its supposed to when accessing websites. Virus makers were caught. FBI is shutting down fake servers, but if you have the virus, this means you can't access the net anymore after Monday, when they go down.

Heh. Sounds like what I had earlier this week. Combo Fix eliminated it with minimal effort.

I guess we'll find out shortly....
(Though I think the fear mongers are saying it's global.)

It's worldwide. They're estimating that something-millions of people have had the virus for a long time already. Though, if you have it, you can't read this reply now.Saos Nartu wrote:Is this only for the US?

Just a heads-up, I've been dealing with this at work for the last few weeks. Alongside a DNS hijacker and a java injection script. AVG seems to pick up on most of these just fine, but I would also recommend the following:
Comodo Cleaning Essentials
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
*Kapersky Virus Removal Tool
*Kapersky makes weapons-grade cyber security products, would recommend any of them in a heartbeat.
Be safe, it's an internet out there.
