G'day.

So I was browsing the web and checking my bookmarks which I view in my day-to-day internet life and I found out that my bookmark icons have been changed automatically and it is not the real icons too, just some random icons added.

Even the MalwareTips icon has changed. I did a complete scan using MalwareBytes and Hitman PRO and cleaning cookies, cache's and temps using CCleaner. But my system was clean.

Is this the new 'Gauss' virus which was detected by Kaspersky's and is now all over Middle East?

Thanks.
 
If you are worried about Gauss, you can use this tool:

I would also scan with MBAM and Hitman Pro just to be on the safe side.
