Is my Internet going buh bye Monday (DNSChanger)?

[NightWatcher]

I'm completely ignorant on this thing that's maybe or maybe not happening on Monday when the FBI supposedly will not let "infected" computers on to the Internet. I've heard that I need to let the FBI (or their approved corporate surrogate) scan my computer to make sure that I'm ok.

Like I said, I've only heard bits and pieces, some of you DUers who know better, please guide me.

6. Call me paranoid, but I get leery about inviting the FBI in to check it out

It sounds a kin to having them look around my house to make sure everything's groovy.

2. Check your own DNS server settings
