Thanks David, good idea, but there is a catch 22 on those sites. I ran the check and was okay, but it said "if your ISP is re-routing your inquiries you could still be infected even though you checked out okay" or some close to that. Useless test IMHO. I have to assume Comcast is ahead of this one!

The Feds are about to pull the plug Monday on their DNS server workaround that has been foiling the DNS-changer virus. It's thought that there are still 60k or so machines infected in the US which will lose internet connectivity on Monday if not cleaned, so it might not hurt to check and make sure you're not one of them.
