| | Comcast/Xfinity Alureon alert Quote: You received a special Bot Alert from Comcast because Constant Guard has detected one or more of your computers is infected with a Bot known as Alureon. This malware modifies the computer DNS settings which may be redirecting your browser to criminally operated rogue DNS servers controlled by the bot network operator. This would allow the cyber criminal to redirect you to websites that may look legitimate but are in fact fraudulent and setup to steal your credentials. Browser security measures such as SSL would be circumvented and would not help mitigate the risk. Please take immediate action by selecting an option below.

| | MBam won't delete a bad DNS cache. It might notify or pick up on a ' bad DNS entry' Flush the DNS cache and restore MS's Hosts file... As I've posted sooo many times in this forum: Copy and paste these lines in Note pad. @Echo on pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc attrib -h -s -r hosts echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS attrib +r +h +s hosts popd ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset all netsh int ip reset all shutdown -r -t 1 del %0 Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Double click on the flush.bat file to run it.Vista and Windows 7... right click the .bat file and choose to run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself. The problem should be resolved if you can't get your own Anti-virus program to run. |
