dns unlocker malware

[Cristian Voinea]

System infected, can't solve even after system reinstall. I don't think is the router fault as i encounter the behavior on different internet connections and only on this computer.

Please help, i'm close to desperate.
Thanks.

Hello,

Do you have home router/modem device?

Hi there,

Yes,
i connected from a Huawei HG655b and Huawei E5172. My computer is the only one affected. no popups or injected code on my wife or kids computer with the same operating system installed.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Hi there again,
Attached is the requested file. please keep in mind tha ti disabled the dns server service and the hosts file is clean as i used for local development with an iis server.

So the problem resides somewhere else then the dns cache or the hosts file.

Thanks again!
