WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- Come Monday, you may be booted off the Internet if you have a certain type of malware on your computer.

Facebook is notifying users who have "DNSChanger" malware. If it's not removed, they will lose Internet access on July 9, when the FBI will shut down the malware.

If a user accesses Facebook from a computer infected with it, the site will display an alert, with a link to a website that instructs users on how to remove it.
