Norton 360

[Intrepid]

Please don't say you are paranoid....you are actually alert and asking the right questions. Some other relevant questions might be:

(1) did Norton protect us from this malware so we don't have to rely on the FBI and login to their hacked DNS system ?, (2) why is the FBI hacking with the DNS system of the Internet ?, (3) "Microsoft vulnerabilities" again were exploited is it time to lookinto LINUX ?, (4) the Associated Press article says from a FBI unit chief "this is the future of what we will be doing", does this sound like SOPA ? Its time to be concerned and vigilant.

Yes, Norton detects the malware associated with DNS Changer.  If Norton has not alerted to Zlob or Tidserv on your system, you do not have to worry about losing your internet in July.

(2) why is the FBI hacking with the DNS system of the Internet ?

The FBI is not hacking the DNS system.  Millions of computers that had been infected are still pointing to the DNS servers that were controlled by the people behind DNS Changer.  A court ordered that legitimate DNS servers be maintained at the addresses previously used by the DNS Changer servers so that affected users would have time to clean up the infection on their systems and reset the DNS addresses in their routers and PCs, so they would not lose internet access.  That allotted time runs out July 9, when the interim DNS servers will be shut down and users will need to be getting their DNS service from mainstream providers.

(3) "Microsoft vulnerabilities" again were exploited is it time to lookinto LINUX ?

Linux is an option for some. 

(4) the Associated Press article says from a FBI unit chief "this is the future of what we will be doing", does this sound like SOPA ?  Its time to be concerned and vigilant.

In the era ushered in by Stuxnet, there are issues of cybercrime and cyberwarfare where government involvement is undoubtedly going to be warranted and necessary.  There are other areas where less governmental intervention is probably better.  But then, debates over governmental power and the rights of citizens have always been with us.  Why should the internet be any different?
