I think he is talking about the new virus that breaks your internet setting thus preventing you from getting on the internet.

It's malware that changes the DNS settings of computers, servers, and routers. The effect is the user being unable to access the internet.
It's not new. It was released in 2007, however the FBI placed a temporary fix that expired today/ when ever it is for specific time zones.
There was no major damage done.

I heard Estonians were involved in producing such a huge ad hoax.
All it does is switch your average ads with special ones with money going to them instead :D

actually, they took down the servers a while ago, it's just that the FBI had set up temporary servers to allow people time to fix their computers.
