New Trojan Going Around

Recommended Posts

QHosts-1. This basically hijacks your browser and changes your DNS servers. If you have issues connecting you may want to check this out. There is a fix listed on the link I posted.

 

Note: This is NOT destructive. Just a pain in the ass. A firewall should protect you from this exploit. See the Things You Need On Your PC thread for a list of free ones.

Yeah, my firewall picked up a new Trojan trying to get through earlier. The one that always tries is Backdoor Sub7 something or other. This one was called something else, but it was gone too quickly for me to catch the name.

Like I said a firewall may protect you. It's an Internet Explorer exploit (with no patch yet) so even if you get it cleaned out it may re-appear.
