Forget the end of the world in December 2012 – July 9th could be doomsday...

Have you heard about the July 9th virus? 

It’s for real – and according to the FBI, hundreds of thousands of people already have it – on their computer. The DNS virus lays dormant until July 9th, 2012. On that day, PCs and MACs which have been infected will not be able to access the internet.

An estimated 350,000 of us already have the virus. To determine if you’ve got it, the FBI recommends going to www.DNS-OK.US. It's okay, I've check it myself.  It just takes a minute and it will display a green screen if you’re clear, red if you’re not. 

If you do have the virus, experts say it will be easier to fix now by updating your antivirus software. Just be wary about sites claiming to check your computer for the DNS virus. It may come as no surprise that some scammers are taking advantage of the situation.
