I get a little weirded out by this. The FBI asking us to enter our IP address into their site... odd.

Yeah, no shit. I'm not a tin hat kind of guy, but this one definitely strikes a warning flag.

We didnt go to the FBI site at work, only to the : www.dns-ok.us
Because so many people are checking, it might take several attempts to get thru. If you see a green background to the image on that page and the words "DNS Resolution = GREEN," you're safe. (Your Internet provider may also offer a similar service. Comcast subscribers, for example, can check their computers at amibotted.comcast.net.)

Yeah enter my IP in the FBI site. Oh hai incoming police-state, let me help you with your dominance.

They already know your IP every time you log into Facebook, no big.
