You may have heard the news — the trojan DNSChanger is set to wreak havoc on the Internet this coming Monday.
I think this is a good time to remind everyone that they should have up-to-date anti-malware programs installed and activated on their machines — and, yes, this means Mac users, too!
Stanford people can go to the Essential Stanford Software website (http://ess.stanford.edu) to download and install the Sophos anti-malware tool.
