DNSchanger Victims to Lose Internet Next Monday

If your computer is/was infected by the DNSChanger malware, you better fix it right now, as you'll be unable to access the internet starting next monday, July 9th.

This malware changed the DNS server settings in your computer/network, so that each internet access was routed via the attackers servers. To the user, everything seemed to be working as usual... but the attackers could see what you were accessing, and forward you to fake sites in order to grab your data. Next monday, the FBI will shut down these servers, meaning that anyone still using those will be unable to access the internet.


You can check to see if your vcomputer is infected with DNCChanger here.

Or you can manually check your DNS servers and make sure it's not one of the following.

• 85.255.112.0 to 85.255.127.255
• 67.210.0.0 to 67.210.15.255
• 93.188.160.0 to 93.188.167.255
• 77.67.83.0 to 77.67.83.255
• 213.109.64.0 to 213.109.79.255
• 64.28.176.0 to 64.28.191.255

If that's the case, you better set your ISP DNS server, or use OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220) or Google's (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4).

AdBlock Anti-Malware

Indispensable for millions, hated by others, the browser extension AdBlocker has saved countless browsers from annoying ads.
But, on the other hand, it also keeps you from supporting your favorites sites by "watching" their ads.

The truth is, even if you opt to choose seeing those ads, AdBlocker can still be of great help blocking malicious content.

You just need to subscribe to this malware list (it's on the bottom of adblocker's official page), and you can safely navigate around the web.

If you're using Firefox be sure to use Ad Block Plus, on Chrome you just need to go to "manage extensions" (right click on the extensions area) and add the same link manually to the AdBlock list.

You can even find a list to block the popular (but annoying) rickrolls! :)
