There is a rampant virus/trojan that is set to activate tomorrow and redirect many links to spurious sites.
Check your computer now to see if you are redirecting properly.

Go to www.dns-ok.us.

If you get an okay screen all is well, you are redirecting properly.
If you get a red warning of any kind, your computer is infected.

Thanks for the reminder, I'm good. Saved me the trouble of getting the Daily News article on it.

Why would you "hope" that it only affects Mac users?

I clicked on your link and it came out green.

But when I click on google search result links, it very frequently redirects me to some cheap irrelevent site. The same thing happened about a year ago to me and that crap is starting back up again.

Do people get paid for making viruses or is it for leisure?
