I therefore will refer your question over to <agb2002> and see if he can help in elucidating this.

<agb2002: Hi LTJ, thank you for thinking of me for this question. However, my math background and professional experience are much closer to numerical and statistical analysis (mainly applied to industry) than number theory, a branch of pure maths.>

If you are not affected by DNS Changer then do nothing.

If you didn't act fast enough to the DNSChanger scare, fixing the problem will be a lot more difficult today.

First, here are several clean-up programs listed by the DNS Changer Working Group. These programs should remove the virus and related programs, but you'll need to get them onto the infected machine through a USB drive, CD/DVD, or some other way that does not involve the Internet. You can do that on your own, or have a computer professional do it for you.

Once your computer is set with a legitimate DNS, you will want to check your router, if you have one, to make sure it is also using the proper address.

You will want to check all of your financial accounts, and other sensitive information sources, to make sure they have not been affected. You will also want to change your passwords.

If you still find that you are not clear of the problems hatched by DNSCharger, experts encourage you to call your Internet service provider for help.

Computerworld - Microsoft today patched 16 vulnerabilities, including one in Windows that's been exploited for weeks and two in Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) in the first-in-years back-to-back browser update.

Of Tuesday's nine security updates, three were rated "critical," Microsoft's most-severe threat ranking, while the others were pegged as "important," the next-most-serious label.

"It's being leveraged in the wild, so [MS12-043] has to be at the top of everyone's list," echoed Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security.

"The security updates for Microsoft XML Core Services 5.0 are unavailable at this time," Microsoft said in the accompanying write-up.

An update earlier this week to Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 antivirus software for businesses caused some Windows XP-based computers to crash repeatedly with a "blue screen of death," the company revealed on its Web site.

"On July 11th, 2012 Symantec Security Response started receiving reports of customers experiencing blue screens after applying the July 11th revision 18 definitions," Orla Cox, of Symantec Security Response, wrote in the post. "Machines may continue to blue screen after they reboot. This problem only appears to occur on Windows XP machines."

A whole new world of magic animals, brave young princes and evil witches has come to light with the discovery of 500 new fairytales, which were locked away in an archive in Regensburg, Germany for over 150 years. The tales are part of a collection of myths, legends and fairytales, gathered by the local historian Franz Xaver von Schönwerth (1810–1886) in the Bavarian region of Oberpfalz at about the same time as the Grimm brothers were collecting the fairytales that have since charmed adults and children around the world.
