To check whether a computer is infected, users can visit this website ( or click the link below) run by the group brought in by the FBI.

The site includes links to respected commercial sites that will run a quick check on the computer, and it also lays out detailed instructions if users want to actually check the computer themselves.

The testing site: http://www.dcwg.org/
