ISP DNS server concern

I was gonna title this trojans-nothing to do with latex but thought better.

I suppose that since I mentioned this elsewhere I should post a public service thing.

Yet another trojan roaming the interwebthingie.

There are mixed comments as to your antivirus fixing this. Even if it caught the trojan and got rid of it it may not have fixed the changes.

Now that I've done my duty, I'm gonna go watch mathnet.

Thanks PO, I guess I will run another virus check. Been pretty happy with Norton.

Thanks for the thanks nasa but as I tried to say, even if your antivirus software finds and eliminates the problem, you still need to look at the DNS server ip in your ipconfig. If it is on of the ip addresses listed in the referenced url, you need to find out what it should be and change it. It's a pretty simple process.
