Suspected DNS Resolver Cache Poisoning (Hope to solve ASAP)
Hi, My DNS Cache is being poisoned and everytime I flush the resolver cache the list comes back. I recently downloaded a rogue program called Error Fix as it had a "McAfree SECURED" sign in McAfee's SiteAdvisor so I thought it was safe. I removed Error Fix using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware after that. (malwarebytes.org) Malware Remover Tool Also, my cousin had recently came to my house and surf porn sites while I was out. (Before Error Fix was installed) I have also request for help in Malwarebytes forum but since the DNS Resolver Cache was installed in Windows, I hope that you can also look into it. I hope that you can really look into it and not just give me a simple answer like Reinstall your operating system. Anyway, I don't have the installation disk. I have restore points created before the installation of the rogue program Error Fix but all the restore points were gone for no reason. I went to check it recently. If there is anything you need, please let me know. I am using Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2. =========================================================================================== I am unable to display all the characters due to a limit so please refer to the following forum post by me in Malwarebytes Forum - http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=83675 =========================================================================================== I hope to fix the DNS Cache Poisoning ASAP. Thanks. If there is anything you need, please let me know. ===========================================================================================

Hi, I noticed a duplicated case here. Additionally, if the general steps do not work, please run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to remove viruses ========================== 1. Download freeware Anti-Malware Remover from http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability. If the above link cannot be accessed due to DNS problem, I suggest downloading it from another computer. We can then copy the downloaded file to a removable disk or CD and install it on the original computer. 2. After downloading it, please double-click the downloaded file to install it. 3. After installing it, please restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple Operating Systems, you can press the F8 key when you see the boot menu. 4. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode with networking, and then press Enter. 5. Log onto the default administrator account or any user account with the administrator privileges. 6. Please launch the program to scan and remove Trojan or viruses. Note 1: In Safe Mode with networking, your system display and desktop will look and perform differently than in Normal Mode. This is only temporary. To go back to Normal Mode, we just need to restart the computer. Note 2: If after keeping pressing F8, nothing happens. It is because the settings have been changed by the computer manufacturer. Please refer to the user manual or contact the computer manufacturer for the information how to enter Safe Mode with networking.
