    Here's a site at which you can quickly test your computer to see if it's been compromised..

    http://www.dns-ok.us/

    (the page is a bit slow to open.. presumably lots of people are using it to test their computers)

    Here's an alternative..

    Came here to post what I learned last night in an email from a friend. Am happy to see our people already knew about this and posted. My computer gave an answer of "Green" when I tested last night.
