Bumped into this a few minues ago. The source is reliable, AFAIK, and yes, the link to the FBI looks genuine.

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain." -George Orwell, 1984

What viruses ever are?
By the way, DNSChanger is real. It's been known for quite some time already.

Yeah, I read that back in the latter part of May. They really need to keep some fresh articles about that going.

COOL! I use OpenDNS. And, of course, the DNSChanger trojan is not a threat to Linux systems. However, I will check my XP and 7 installations with this link.
