Disconnection of Millions of DNSChanger-Infected PCs Delayed

tsu doh nimh writes "Millions of computers infected with the stealthy and tenacious DNSChanger Trojan may be spared a planned disconnection from the Internet early next month if a New York court approves a new request by the U.S. government. Meanwhile, six men accused of managing and profiting from the huge collection of hacked PCs are expected to soon be extradited from their native Estonia to face charges in the United States."

    Lazy, aren't you? Google the Trojan name, and the very first result tells you.
    Trojan:W32/DNSChanger

    That's if the context didn't tell you... Hmm, a Trojan infecting millions of machines to the level of getting courts involved. You really expect that to be Mac or Linux?
