Just seen this in the mail its regarding Alureon/DNS charger bot, seems this could effect loads of computers worldwide tomorrow 9th July, the first link doesn't work, but the second one gives you a link to check, if the logo has a green background your okay red and you have problems, hope this helps somebody

Sumats up John, when I clicked on that link, a page came up showing, sorry the page has been removed.
So has one of the Mail reporters dropped a clanger and been led up the garden path with a scam.

No Retlaw, the fist link in the news item doesn't work, but the second one does......the DCWG link...well, it works for me anyway.

The first link worked for me - I got straight to a green background.

I think this Virus is to attack tomorrow(or the protection from it ceases tomorrow)...so it might be worthwhile checking again then Sue.
I have already checked mine today and so far(fingers crossed) it is OK.
