About Trojan.DNSChanger



Trojan.DNSChanger is a Trojan virus detection which is unable to spread of its own accord. Trojan:W32/DNSChanger will change the infected system's Domain Name Server (DNS) settings in order to divert traffic to unsolicited, and potentially illegal sites. The trojan is usually a small file (about 1.5 kilobytes) that is designed to change the 'NameServer' Registry key value to a custom IP address. This IP address is usually encrypted in the body of a trojan. As a result of this change, a victim's computer will contact the newly assigned DNS server to resolve names of different webservers. Lately we got a few samples of this trojan that were named 'PayPal-2.5.200-MSWin32-x86-2005.exe'.
