I have the highest risk here as I am running a Pre-SP1 Windows XP, so I am crossing my fingers that this computer does not have it (As it is old enough to have been infected).

Whenever you have MWB, make sure to have another anti-virus on your system like AVG, because, though good, MWB doesn't pick up some things that others do

I wouldn't call it a hoax - I would call it Yahoo's questionable journalism standards blowing things way out of proportion.

Ah, who the fuck am I kidding, any news outlet blows shit out of proportion.

I always check my registry and DNS settings manually and remove suspicious entries. Even if my computer was infected, I would know.

There's a file in a sub-directory of system32 that contains DNS redirection settings. It's often used in a Website Redirect prank that people pull on their friends, and can be used to tell your web browser to redirect requests for certain IP addresses to other destinations. What likely happened was that the "virus" was actually an entry added to this list that redirected people from commonly-used search engines to a specific URL. Some file-hosts with search engines (e-snips) will do this kind of stuff to get free hits.

It only appears to affect US-based customers, since that's where the servers are. People in the UK should be fine.

Ignore all warnings by browsers if they conflict with information given by your anti-virus software. The browsers are hardly ever right.
