Silly, nonfactual reporting. The government isn’t shutting down anyones’ internet connection. All they are doing is shutting down some DNS servers they set up that malware-infected computers happen to be pointing to. Your internet connection will still be “up” when they shut them down, but if you are infected, your computer will not be able to properly access it, since it will not be able to resolve any domain names.

Get rid of your malware, and reset your DNS/Winsock/Proxy/HOSTS file settings, and you will be able to use your internet connection just fine. It might be difficult to do that without being able to access your internet, though, unless you have the right tools downloaded on your computer already. So, if you are worried, download ComboFix, MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and CCleaner before then, to be safe.

So is it unreasonable to assume that if I am infected, and the FBI has been handling my domain name resolution since November, that they could have been logging every website I’ve visited in that time?
