Everybody's talking about the DNS Changer malware coming online Monday. What orecautions need to be taken for Mac computers? Does this also affect iPad and iPhone?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), MacBook Pro, iMac, iPhone, iPad
Go to this website - http://www.dcwg.org/detect/ - and pick a U.S. server (if you're in the U.S.). It will send you to a server that can detect whether you're safe or infected. If you're infected, it spells out the remedies.
And no, I don't think DNSChanger can infect iOS machines - I may be wrong (and certainly someone will jump in here and tell me if I'm wrong).
Good luck,
Clinton

Not directly, but if they try to use a WiFi router that has been infected, it will affect their access to the internet.
Thanks very much, Clinton. This took me right to the simplest way to deal with this. I appreciate your responding so quickly.
No problem! I have nothing else to do at the moment except monitor this forum and some Adobe forums!

Wow, so glad you thought to ad that point about the WiFi. I use a Verizon WiFi Card for internet access.
Need to find out how to check that?
