From Krebs on Security:
 
"In about two weeks, hundreds of thousands of computer users are going to learn the hard way that failing to keep a clean machine comes with consequences. On July 9, 2012, any systems still infected with the DNSChanger Trojan will be summarily disconnected from the rest of the Internet, and the latest reports indicate this malware is still resident on systems at 12 percent of Fortune 500 companies, and roughly four percent of U.S. federal agenciesTo find out if a system on your network is infected, visit the DNSChanger Check-Up page."

That's a lot of computers to be shut down. It'll be a mess that's for sure.
On the "DNSChanger Check-Up page" link, I'm still showing Green on all my computers. 😃
