Very dangerous trojan that is quite prevalent right now.

Be aware that there is a trojan that is getting more common at the moment. Essentially it forces all of your Internet traffic, banking, poker, etc through servers in Russia or the Ukraine primarily, giving others access to virtually anything you type in on the web. It can infect your pc as well as change dns settings in your router so that even if you clean your pc you are still vunerable.. Read below link.

Now the link below will check to see if you are being rerouted. If you see red instead of green be VERY suspicious and ask for help if you are not proficient at resolving something like this. This is not an errant snopes warning and is real. I have now seen it three times personally. It is mostly in German but as long as you see green you "should" be ok..

    That's a very good point, and if you don't trust me, don't go there.
    Question: do you trust poker sites?;)

    Really that is really good that you question that. Never click on links that are unsolicited or come from an untrusted source. Even trusted sources can be wrong or the source can even be made to "look" like it is your trusted source. You can never be too carefull... Geesh, I'm gonna give myself a complex..
