March 8th FBI Internet Shutdown?

[D3ATH]

I actually haven't been able to remove the complete virus, some parts of it remain but workable around. No software could find and remove them.

These remain:
-Windows' DNS cache is poisoned, so I disabled it and it queries DNS servers directly
-On every boot, proxy options are changed to a localhost daemon, however the daemon is disabled and internet settings have to be changed on every boot to disable the proxy

Well yeah some of stuff is rather bad, requiring reinstallation of Windows, but I haven't caught that kind of stuff for a lot of years now.

Run "sfc /scannow" from an install disk in repair mode.

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /flushdns

The cache service is itself poisoned, so I disabled it.

Oh. Then SFC should do the trick.

I love the idea behind this virus. That's pretty incredible.

[Kalphiter]

I love the idea of replacing the rogue DNS servers with legitimate ones.

[ShadowZero]

Well I did the checks and all my Computers are clear.

I'm not connecting to a rogue DNS.

Don't know about you guys though.

Good job reading the articles.

Some morons managed to get a virus. Virus changes DNS to the maker's servers. FBI replaces the rogue servers with their own (rogue) servers. FBI now shuts down servers. Morons try to clean their computers.

This would also affect computers in Europe if I'm correct.

Really the FBI didn't have to replace the rogue servers with legitimate ones in the first place, that was just to give groups the chance to check and change back their dns.

They shouldn't have, except possibly making it all lead to a page with info about how to remove the infection.
