If you have 'Alureon' virus on your PC, you WILL get kicked off the internet on Monday

Warning from FBI: If you have 'Alureon' virus on your PC, you WILL get kicked off internet on Monday
  • Hundreds of thousands of PCs still at risk worldwide
  • Virus 'spoofs' popular websites in attempt to steal personal information
  • Around 50 Fortune 500 companies still have virus in their machines
  • FBI 'ring-fenced' the virus late last year - but protection ends on Monday

WORRIED? FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS TO CHECK YOUR PC

If you are worried about this, and want to put your mind at ease, follow these steps:
1) Visit this FBI-approved site - http://www.dns-ok.us - and see if you get an 'all-clear' green background or an 'at risk' red background.
2) If you have a red background, visit http://www.dcwg.org/fix which lists free virus scanner and removal software.
Our personal recommendations from the free range are Microsoft Windows Defender and Avira.
