Default Internet Issue

I wanted to give a heads up (thank you to Amiyesiam who got me looking at this) to all users. There is a potential internet hack/trojan that may impact you this summer. You can read about it here: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011...malware_110911

More importantly, you should take a few minutes (probably about 10) to read this paper: http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011...er-malware.pdf This Adobe Acrobat paper talks about how this particular trojan/malware works and how to manually detect it.

If you do not do this, you could lose internet access this summer when the FBI shuts down specific servers that the malware depends on.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to ask.
