If you go to Google and do a search (any word will do) <strong>right now<\/strong>, check to see whether you get a &#8220;Your computer appears to be infected&#8221; warning at the top of the search results. If you see the message, you need to clean up the infection from your machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re trying this as an experiment to alert and protect consumers that we believe have infected machines. Please share this widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Added<\/strong>: This is malware that&#8217;s specific to Windows.
