Hi All,

I read that the FBI is shutting down any DNS computers that have been infected with a virus.

Here is a site to check out your computer if you would like.

Domain Name Servers.
 They translate www. MyWebsite.com to numbers like 123.234.345,321 , which is the REAL address of www. MyWebsite.com

I know the original poster's intentions were good, but let's face it, folks--there are dozens of new viruses, worms, etc. every week. If our members announced each one here, there'd be no room for any RVing discussion. So tell your friends via private email if you want (though I strongly recommend checking with www.snopes.com before passing on any warnings of this kind), but please don't post virus warnings here.
