When the computer trojan virus, DNSChanger, creators were arrested over 8 months ago the FBI began shutting down domains that may have been affected by the DNSChanger malware.
The virus, which has been circulating the web from as far back as 2007, redirects internet traffic to sites with paid advertisements where cybercriminals can hack into unprotected computers. Authorities say some 275,000 computers are still at risk.
On Monday, the FBI's temporary Internet servers will go dark, leaving thousands of unsuspecting malware-infected individuals without online access.
