Excuse the horrible subject :-)

Anyone have anything insightful to say about it? Is it just lots of fuss 
about nothing or is it an actual substantial problem?

"Update on March 12, 2012: To assist victims affected by the DNSChanger 
malicious software, the FBI obtained a court order authorizing the 
Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) to deploy and maintain temporary clean 
DNS servers. This solution is temporary, providing additional time for 
victims to clean affected computers and restore their normal DNS 
settings. The clean DNS servers will be turned off on July 9, 2012, and 
computers still impacted by DNSChanger may lose Internet connectivity at 
that time."
