DNS Updater

[h4v0c]

For the record, I already have a Removal Assistance thread open for this ... https://forums.spybot.info/showthrea...e&goto=newpost

But, when I saw this Sub-Forum, I figured I would make a note here. My initial problem started with a very annoying program(?) called DNS Updater. If you're not familiar with this digital migraine, it selects random bits of web text from any web page and turns it into hyperlinks for ads. It's not even shy about telling you who/what is responsible as each annoying thumbnail clearly and proudly states DNS Updater (typically at the bottom).

Currently, Juliet is helping me with eradication of this perpetual nightmare ... but, if Spybot could detect and remove it from the initial scan, then all the better, right?

Either way, just figured since it gave me such grief, it's likely giving others grief as well, so it was at the very least worth a mention.

Thanks!!

I have the same thing only it says DNSUnlocker.
Spybot does not detect it. I deleted it from my programs but it's till there.
Anyone?

Hello sales,

Please do as h4v0c did and start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum and a volunteer analyst will advise.

First see that forum's FAQ which also includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.
