Hi,

Fear, greed and ego, the three tools of the government.

I trust what I have and I agree with the other comments, take over a little at a time. I am with Popeye, I will give it a pass.

The government want to scan your computer to check if you have this malware, and they are thretening to cut off your internet connection if you have this malware, so how exactly are they going to decide who to cut off if they dont know whos got it and who hasnt, think the scammers could learn a lesson or two from the government, i suspect this is just the government wanting to scan and possibly install software on peoples computers for reasons known only to them, very iffy if you ask me.

Yea, they talked about it on CNN yesterday. dns-ok.com is the site. I'll pass as well, on CNN they said it will only check if you have it or no(no downloads), but still not for me.

I did it on a test computer just to see. It showed a green square to tell me that I was clean. Then I ran a system scan on the pc to make sure nothing was downloaded. I'm all good.

If they did install something, I'm sure no one will know about it, even AV.
