Infected by TrojanDNSChanger

Last night, my PC was infected by a malware called TrojanDNSChanger. I recalled that it’s came from one of the Entrecard member’s blog page. But I couldn’t pin point which one because I’m loading thirty pages at a time. This malware causing my browser displayed a popup window pointing to h-t-t-p://popup.adv.net/popup.php?r=blablabla (a page that promotes those stupid cute smileys) every time I load a new page. It makes my firefox running very slow and all my password for login to a forum website became invalid/wrong password.

Luckily, I’ve found a thread at the Entrecard forum open by Caledonnian Comment who has a same problem with me and have find a way to resolve it. He faced this problem almost at a same time as mine. I wrote a short massage to him about the problem and this kind hearted guy replied to me and gave me a link on how to resolve this malware infection.

The link that he gave brought me to a Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware website. It’s freeware, so I quickly downloaded it and run the software. I’m quite surprise seeing a result that this software produced. There are nineteen others Trojan and adware on my PC. Luckily, it all can be removed easily with this Anti-Malware. Kaspersky anti-virus is always running on my PC, and now I knew, anti-virus alone can’t handle this malware attack. I’m suggesting that we all need to have this Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware running on our PC.
