Hi bluepaint60,

It is not dormant malware, but the fact that the malware has changed the DNS settings in infected systems, that will cause some people to lose their internet on July 9.  Most ISPs, Google and Facebook have been alerting affected users to fix their systems, and antivirus software has long been able to detect the malware.  Only those with infected systems who have ignored the warnings will be at risk.
