So I come back from school for spring break and connect to my wireless network, and I get a message supposedly from comcast/xfinity/whatever the fuck they are now saying there is some sort of bot messing around. It was a popup in the browser, chrome for me, and it was on every page. But not like your typical pop up ad, it was sightly transparent and all official/really well executed fake looking. They're calling it this

I'm no longer seeing the message, on my mbp or my mother's dell. Apparently it's a dns changer related to google search results, and that you need to be superuser to install it. I went here http://www.dcwg.org/ and it says neither computers have an issue. So this is all a bit suspicious. There's not much else about it, it seems.
I'm trying to do some digging around. I don't know what it is with adults and computers. My parents said my mothers laptop was getting all these virus issues. I was just gonna wipe it, but they don't know where the install disks are or if they even have any. So I'm about to wipe it and dump ubuntu on it. I'm just trying to avoid messing up my computer by using my own internet at this point... Anybody ever see anything like this? Can I just login as root and kill this on the windows computer?
