You click on a google search result and it seems to take you to completely different website. What has happened? A trojan horse has downloaded on to your computer and has misdirected you to that site. What can you do about it? You can download a tool that removes the file that has downloaded to your computer. Where can you find the tool, go to: http://www.securemac.com/ and browse for dns changer removal tool. Hope this helps?

DNSChanger is a trojan software package which needs to be downloaded _AND_ installed by you (as administrator) _BEFORE_ it starts working. It is totally dependent on the user being 'duped' into installing a video codec to view dubious content wherein actual fact, it is just a DNS rerouter. e.g. This is just Trojan software. The best thing to do is _NEVER_ to install any software you are unsure of its origin and you will not be affected by this social engineering hack. Now... if we are talking about a Windows computer... I might be more worried... :-) 2008-11-17T11:09:56+00:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/180#743 John Yardley info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Martin, Sorry, I thought it was clear. As you state, you can't get a trojan by clicking on a google search result. Can I point out the trojan can be mistakenley downloaded when the content is not of a dubious nature and the browser is duped. John
