Security - The FBI cut July 9 servers who ensured that the DNSChanger virus victims have access to the good DNS records. This cut logically means the end of their connection.

The effects of DNSChanger may well be felt one last time by thousands of users. Four months after the deadline, the FBI finally closed the DNS servers which bound computers infected with Internet. After the disbandment of the Group of pirates from the virus last November, the FBI had set up servers access to the sites for users who have not bothered to remove the virus.

A reminder, DNSChanger virus put motions to 15,000 popular sites by DNS servers mounted by fraudsters, rather than legitimate servers, such as those of the access provider. Internet users were redirected to fraudulent sites displaying advertising, for which the pirates were paid. In late may, over half a million PCs were still infected, four million achieved at the peak of spread.

You can check if your PC is infected by a simple visit to DNS - OK.fr. The deadline is an opportunity for ZDNet.com to mock on the cut of these users Internet access possible, for which he ' is a lesson to take.
