[quote=BobR]It's a little complicated- the FBI caught some hackers who had sent viruses to people's computers to redirect them to sites the hackers wanted them to see.
The FBI set up a fake network so the hackers thought everything was going OK until the Feds helped the Estonian government shut them down.

Tomorrow the FBI is going to turn off the fake network that was used to catch the hackers, and anyone who still has the virus will lose access to the Internet.
The Internet is still fine, it's just anyone who hasn't checked their computer for the virus that will have problems.

So Nexon will be able to run their patch, as long as they bothered to check their computers for the virus.
