This will be the last day that most people who play Roblox will never have internet again. If you still haven't caught on, read this article:
Pay attention, or you could be booted off the Internet Monday. Facebook is notifying users who have a certain type of malware on their computers, reminding users that if they don’t remove it, they will lose internet access on July 9, when the FBI shuts down the malware.
If a user accesses Facebook from a computer infected with DNS Changer malware, the site will display an alert with a link to a website that instructs users on how to remove the malware.
The FBI's website also has a link that allows people to check if they have malware on their machines. According to the FBI, DNS Changer malware can modify a computer’s settings and possibly direct the computer to "improper results." |

| I doubt this. It's really only supposed to happen to those users who clean their computer without a Virus Protection program. I have one so I'm safe. |

Not necessarily, anti-virus programs can help if they are the right ones, but this malware is very small, so you don't know if you have it, and most anti-virus software cannot detect it. You might want to Google the DNS program and check your computer if you haven't already. |

We don't need to be warned on the Roblox Talk forum. Go to Off Topic if you want to talk about this dreadful thing that will shut down the internet for ONE day. It's sad that a lot of people fear this... like, it's just internet lol. |

| I believe it could happen, Although it's surprisingly similar to the 1999 issue with Y2K. |
