telecat Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 HMMM! desipte a firewall, AV Anti Spyware etc, somebody managed to get something thru and change my DNS settings. Redirected all *.co.uk domains to jupk.com. All settings have now been changed to manual and passworded. Just a little warning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Saw several instances of this with a customer recently. Corrected it by clearing the hosts file and resetting the network connection properties. See here for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Of course what have you been downloading??? This did cross my mind. You don't tend to get trojans like that surfing innocent sites. Has NYL been a bit naughty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabnabit Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) Use Mozilla Firefox with the no script plug in. Also you can propagate you're HOSTS FILE and keep the nasties away. Edited December 2, 2006 by Dabnabit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 If I could get on the Computer more Often We are on Firefox(haven't you noticed NYL's spelling's improved), As for Hosts, I've decided that fixing the DNS servers on the router and changing it's password should be more effective. Don't forget that Hosts is a file that can be "got at". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
