Today some of my clients had problem with accessing Google
and Gmail, they were getting a message says like “WARNING! Your flash Player may be out of date. Please update to
continue".
If they tried to close or OK to the pop up message it redirect
them a webpage looks like adobe and prompt to download different products.
During my research I found, it is a DNS hijack. In
my previous post I have explained whatis DNS hijacking and how does it work
To fix this problem, you need to check your DNS server
configuration on your computer and router. For this follow the below steps
1. Open Command prompt (Start->Run->Type ‘cmd’)
2. In command prompt, type the command ipconfig /all and press
enter
3. Then check the DNS server entry and if it is 23.253.94.129, no
doubt that is the culprit
Now you need to remove this entry from your computer or
router
Open the Control panel, then Network and Sharing Center and access
the active network card properties and change DNS server address. If it is not
there, you have to check router and reset the settings. Depends on the router model, these settings
may be vary. If you know your router IP, User name and password, just login and
check for DNS configuration settings.
It is highly recommend to run a deep scan with updated Antivirus program to find out the dropper files if any. All the best !!!
