EXPLOIT/VIRUS ALERT! NO JOKE! NO HOAX!

See the thread.

Latest info from Google search for DNS exploit

Test your own ISP, here.

This is NOT a hoax or a joke. The problem is on your ISP's end, not your machine. I don't believe you can fix it on your own machine, but your ISP may be able to help you. If the front line people don't know about it, ask to speak to an upper tier support person. Be prepared to give them info from the thread and the above links.

Strange that it says Comcast users don't need to worry. Not sure if that's sarcasm or fact.

Comcast, from what I have found when I tested my DNS, has already upgraded to DNSSEC (Secure DNS).

Normally I hate Comcast, but this is comforting :-D
