Once the FBI shut down the operation, it built a safety net of new servers to redirect traffic from those infected with the virus.īut that safety net is going offline next Monday meaning that anyone who is still infected with the virus will lose access to the Internet unless they remove it from their machine. The virus would redirect Internet users to fake DNS servers, often sending them to fake sites or places that promoted fake products. The virus, as its name indicates, affected computers’ abilities to correctly access the Internet’s DNS system - essentially, the Internet’s phone book. The Federal Bureau of Investigation first gave details about the virus last November, when it announced the arrest of the malware’s authors. Supports most very current Viruses.Ĭons: Visual notification it is running and progress measurement.Thousands could lose access to the Internet on July 9 due to a virus, DNSChanger, that once infected approximately 4 million computers across the world.

However, it is the only product which appears to address this particular virus (ZEPTO) which is very bad. Should have a moving icon of some sort to let you know it is running and some kind of progress meter so you can determine how much longer etc. I am currently doing it again to see what it finds. This time same result but it only found 370 files. I let it run for 7 hrs and there was know visible change so I closed it and started all over. It ran fine and found 1100 files (full scan) however everytime I try to run fixit, it opens the window saying do not close until it is done but basically seems to freeze up.

Material says it will automatically stop Win Defender but it did not.

I am currently trying to use Trend Micro HouseCall on an Acer Win10 64 bit computer which is infected with the Zepto virus. Not sure at this point if it is working or not. By Anonymous reviewed on October 15, 2016
