Computer Virus: FBI Warns You Might Lose Access Next Week

You may lose Internet access next week if your computer is carrying a virus that was spread by a fraud ring and dismantled last year by the FBI.
Back in November, the FBI set up temporary clean servers for those affected by the virus, but they’re cutting that service off on Monday (July 9th). An estimated 45,619 computers in the U.S. are still infected, down from an estimated peak of 175,365.
To see if you’re infected and to learn how to strip your computer of the virus, visit dcwg.org. Looks like the station laptop is in working order. This is the screen that popped up after I checked it. All systems go.
Check you computer before Monday and it’s too late.
