Hundreds of thousands may lose Internet in July

What do you guys think about this article: Hackers gain control of thousands of computers

And I won't click on the clean up link provided in that article just yet!

you can just check if you have your IP rerouted
in cmd window for windows :
ipconfig /all
and check IP addresses for network adapter, it should not be as those on the list on that site http://www.dcwg.org or you just don't have to go there at all, if yours IP address is going to be ok

OK Tried that and got one that I don't understand: "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interrface"
Any idea what that is?

I read this earlier today and both my computers check out ok.

My question is I have norton 360 that has some phising/malware ability in it - shouldn't it detect this kind of thing? I shouldn't have to worry about something like this right? I have scans done all the time with updated definitions.

I know malware aren't viruses but if the scanners are setup for more than just viruses it should come across these things right?

I don't think I need to look into this anymore since both my pcs read the link correctly (both get green lights) and both use norton 360.

If you think I should do one more look up to be 100% sure please let me know. Thanks.

The way I understand it people answered online ads to clean their infected computers. From the article:
"their problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of infected computers around the world."
