Internet Darwin Award?

Hundreds of thousands of Internet users whose computers are infected with a particularly nasty virus will be unable to access the Web starting on Monday.
If you think you...I mean your relatives...might be infected, you can check by clicking this sketchy looking URL. http://www.dns-ok.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Or click http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2011/no ... are_110911" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for more details.

That's why I also gave the FBI link. Although clicking on that might get you added to "the list" for Obama's secret drones.

Oh, if there's a list of "freedom and gun loving domestic terrorists" floating around somewhere, I'm sure to already be on it. :cool:
