Every Single Article About This Problem Should Have, At Least, A Direct Mandatory Link To The CheckUp Site, And Not Rely, Only, On Indirect Links For It.

I Will Not Hold My Breath, Though.

Better than Microsoft, that wanted ISPs to deliberately cut people off from internet access, for getting infected, and get a 'certificate' to get their internet access back. No idea how they'd get an 'update' to fix that. I suppose you'd have to PAY someone. Easier than making windoze secure, I suppose.

For some reason, that took off like a lead balloon.

"You have been notified please add your self to the policy" Well, security is an attitude they are having one. So add the self-proper attitude to your security.

Problem is there are so many rogue check-up sites that listing direct links to even one of those check-up sites whether legit or not would cost a site like this visitors. Basically a direct link would cause more damage than good to sites like PC World. Then you'll have people going to places like WoT claiming this site was a legit site turned rogue without ever even testing the links. And it doesn't take much to turn a site with a "green" rating to a "yellow" rating. Just a few complaints is usually enough if those who are complaining are VIP members or "trusted" members.

I'll Be Honest, With You ( Y ) A41202813, All You're Posts ( P ) Seem Pretty, Rogue To Me. I Mean, Seriously, ( S ) What's With Your Typing With All, Your Words Being Capitalized ( C ) With, A Bunch Of Random, Commas ( C ) Everywhere And Then Certain, Words Being Followed By, Parentheses ( P ) Enclosing The First, Letter Of The Word ( W ) That You, Just Typed?

So, Yes It Does, Still, "Seems" Rogue To Me ( M ) ?

I Am Confused, Though:

1 - Does ( P ) Stand For 'POSTS' Or 'PARENTHESES', And,

2 - Does ( C ) Stand For 'CAPITALIZED' Or 'COMMAS' ?

At Least, I Did Not SignUp, Just To Criticize A Particular Poster.

I don't know anything about a computer. This means nothing to me.
What should I do?

There are many official sites that would tell you if you are infected with the virus or malware mentioned in this article. Just google for "DNS Charger checker" and visit one of these sites, they will tell you if you are infected and many will explain what to do next.

I don't use Google, at all, is there another way to search or is this just for PC's that use Google? I hate Google, that's just me no flaming necessary, so I won't use them and block Google Anylytics and others as well. Thanks for any input.
