This might help to see if you're vulnerable.

Kaspersky has the removal tool (free).

Good luck to all...

Thanks for the reminder MM, I need to check my servers when I get to work tomorrow.

Hey off topic, I checked out your YouTube channel (subscribed too :wink: ) I see you have some Shirley Alston Reeves footage posted, I had a gig with her around the same time last year, but not the same as you posted. I sat out in the 4th row and watched her soundcheck in an empty auditorium. I'll never forget it, she sounded amazing, as did her backup singers. I ran into her a couple times back stage, she seemed like a very nice person.

Everyone should subscribe to Mike's YouTube channel, some great content there!

It's gone now. Just check dns-ok.us to see if you already had it.

Thanks strings! :D

Shirley was still sounding amazing for her age last summer and she doesn't look too shabby either! :wink:

yep Shirley's looking and sounding great.

This picture is from the night I met her (that's not me on the left):

I played a show at the end of June this year and got to meet another great singer from way-back-when, Miss Dee Dee Sharp. She kind of reminds me of Shirley.

She cut in front of me on line to get food - lol.

OK just to bring this back on topic .... looks like the Internet ‘blackout’ fizzled much like the Y2K bug:

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/doomsday-internet-blackout-dns-changer-fizzle-172421519.html

Monday’s Internet ‘blackout’ appears to fizzle out

The Great Internet Blackout of 2012, which the FBI feared could impact thousands of Internet users, came and went with little more than a whimper on Monday, as the so-called "Doomsday" deadline passed with few reports of outages.

At 12:01 a.m. EDT, the FBI shut down temporary servers it had set up to handle Web traffic for thousands of computers infected with a virus spread by a ring of cyber criminals the bureau busted last year. Those using the estimated 200,000 computers still infected with the virus were expected to lose their Internet connection after the servers were closed down.
But Monday's big "blackout" failed to materialize.

"The impact seems to have been limited," CBS MoneyWatch.com said. According to the FBI, 41,800 of the 211,000 worldwide computers infected with the virus were in the United States, but U.S. Internet providers reported vastly fewer victims.

In Australia, the "anticipated chaos at ISPs did not eventuate and, at worst, caused little more than a modest increase in calls to helpdesks," according to theaustralian.com.

In the U.K., "security firms reported no significant outages linked to the DNS Changer virus," the Daily Mail reported, "as many Internet service providers have either implemented a fix or contacted customers with steps to clean their computers."
Many Internet service providers had made temporary arrangements to keep those customers affected by the virus online. Online security firms, Facebook and the FBI offered free diagnostic checks for users whose computers may be infected. And the problem, security experts said, was relatively easy to fix.

Meanwhile, media hype over a potential "blackout" threatened "to obscure what has been a highly successful effort—one of few to date—to stamp out a global online scam and malware infestation," Paul Roberts wrote on threatpost.com. Six people were arrested in Estonia and charged with Internet fraud in the sting. A seventh, who was living in Russia, remains at large.
