Hello Folks,

Once again, I’m back with another piece of information which is useful for the users. Almost all the internet audience will be targeted on this since it’s a privacy & protecting your self over the internet.

Okay!! Today’s topic is about the famous malware which is spreading over the net anonymously these days & injecting users computer by changing their DNS servers. Meaning the DNS are manually or however entered within the users (victims) PC’s then pointing out records incorrectly while browsing. Malware is simply a malicious software or more like a script which is designed to disrupt computer operations, gather sensitive information, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems. To learn about DNS, please refer our previous tutorials listed below;
