This first showed up in one of our local news channels, so I went to the Better Business Bureau site to see if it actually came from there.. Thousands May Lose Internet Access on July 9, but Fix is Easy - BBB News Center .
Apparently it is legit in that it is actually on the BBB site. My comp seems to be working fine, no re-directs, virus scan program works every night on it's pre-set scan time. But was wondering, has anyone followed up on this? Results? Thoughts?

Didn't we have to do something similar last month when they were rolling out the new ip address?

It says I'm ok. Also says that if my ISP is redirecting DNS traffic, I would have got there and showed I was ok even if I wasn't ok. OK.. Guess we'll wait till the 9th and see what happens.:laugh:

I saw on the news that only 60,000 computers in the U.S. are believed to be infected, so odds are pretty good you can ignore it...fingers crossed:laugh:
