Default Government warning on computer virus?

Did you hear about this computer virus that allegedly can case major issues down the line?

Is this true? Is the website legit?

Virus?

Yes, Lainey, it is legit. You should run the little program they suggest for your peace of mind by clicking on the English link. Chances are very good that you are not infected. I ran the program, and I didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn Express this weekend!

Seriously, it is legit.

You'd think the FBI would come up with a better link and check system on their website.

If you don't know what your ip address is, just type myipaddress.com into your browser.
