Rogue DNS Maware

Did anyone see that story about the internet malware virus which is supposed to cut off our internet today?  I didn't see it until about a week ago and I ignored it, but then my mom called in a tizzy so I then had to help her go through the steps provided by the FBI to make sure her computer didn't have the virus.  Well, call me cynical but does anyone else think this was a brilliant idea put out by the FBI to get everyone's IP addresses??  As you can see I totally don't trust the FBI, etc., etc.,  Of course I also did the check on my computer thinking this thought all the time I was doing it, and then hating myself afterwards!

Just because you're paranoid does not mean they are not after you!

Oh dear, I'm definitely not paranoid, just thinking outside the box.
