Hey all
I just had a random command prompt suddenly pop up then disappear while gaming I didn't see what the text was before it disappeared so decided to poke around in my event log to see if anything matched. Rather worryingly there was a system event matching the time of the pop up which is a DNS Client Event for a name resolution issue for the website www. "downwithamerica" .com . Given the name of the website the fact that i've definitely never gone to it myself and that I wasn't actively browsing at the time (had some websites open in the background but I was playing WoW at the time) that has me quite worried :/
Someone in my guild online told me it was a group DDoS'ing Blizzard and it's nothing to be concerned about however the command prompt pop up and the fact that I can't seem to find anything corroborating that means I'd much prefer to be certain than ignore an event like this.
Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated. Currently running virus checks and similar and will update if they find anything.
Thanx in advance for any help
