DNSChanger Trojan No Internet Access on March 8?

Two months ago law enforcement in Estonia shut down a massive Internet traffic
hijacking scheme that used the latest versions of DNSChanger Trojans to hijack
search results while blocking victims from visiting security sites. According
to security researcher Brian Krebs, DNS Changer remains on computers at 50% of
Fortune 500 companies, and on PCs at nearly 50% of all federal government
agencies.

In the United States, a half a million computers were reportedly infected with
a security firm finding at least one infection in half of the Fortune 500
companies and 27 government agencies. What’s to be done? Krebs on Security
reports that any computer still infected by March 8, 2012, will have Internet
service disconnected from it:

In early November, authorities in Estonia arrested six men suspected of using
the Trojan to control more than four million computers in over 100 countries —
including an estimated 500,000 in the United States. Investigators timed the
arrests with a coordinated attack on the malware’s infrastructure. The two-
pronged attack was intended to prevent miscreants from continuing to control
the network of hacked PCs, and to give Internet service providers an opportunity
to alert customers with infected machines.

Computers still infected with DNSChanger are up against a countdown clock. As
