| I've been to the checking site more than once for a few days, today updated my virus/malware detection software, updated the firewall, Windows Updates, my computer model's software updates and run a full system scan looking for malware, viruses & trojans, etc. So far, done all I know to do! I hope I can get on the internet tomorrow! If you can't get on, they say call your internet provider for help.

| love this answer Had your computer been infected with DNS changer malware you would have seen a red background. Please note, however, that if your ISP is redirecting DNS traffic for its customers you would have reached this site even though you are infected. For additional information regarding the DNS changer malware, please visit the FBI's website So does that mean .. being green doesn't mean anything

| You have to enter your IP address. Where do you find it?

| I understood it to say just to enter any IP address. So I entered whitehouse.gov I think.

| Okay, I finally found out how to check it right and went into Run, typed: ipconfig/all as the command prompt and saw my DNS servers were within the number range the FBI said were proper for home computers and none of the rogue server addresses were listed there. Mine was of the 192.168.X.XXX range so I guess it is okay. I don't have a router so I didn't do that step. I HATE blackhats & hackers & the people putting us through this!
