Umm just found many rootkits on my PC

[Castout]

And now I realized many sites are inaccessible for me. Yahoo, BIS forum and WoT server among others. Some load so slow.

I'm hoping it's my ISP but I may have been hacked again. It's been couple months running smooth.

Edit: Just changed DNS server and now everything is back okay. My ISP DNS server must be farked.

Some sites still won't load though like BIS forum.

I think I may have been hacked again. Sfc scan reported all is fine. AV scan reported all is now clear. But some sites just won't load at all.

Changing DNS server fixed the yahoo problem for me but not the rest of the sites.

Even google laods so slow now. I'm still hoping it's my ISP DNS server.

I just scanned yesterday with AV and it was all clean so quite a surprise to find many rootkits today.

Scanned with Hijack this and all entries are clear.


I tend to suspect my ISP DNS server or my govt is trying out new internet filtering.

But I haven't ruled out that my PC has been hacked or infested though sfc scan, AV scan(Spyware scan and AV scan) and HijactTHis scan all reports clear now.

Many sites I frequently visit now are inaccessible. Can't play world of tanks too now.

Just gave the ISP a call and what a relief to hear them saying that the problem lies with their DNS server and they are working on it.

you like get hacked every two days!
have you wondered why this always happens?

maybe you should try this:

BTW, with dns problems, try modifying the host files, include the ip addresses of the sites you commonly go on

have a similar issue with my isp - their dns servers/new ip range are not listed *somewhere* and as a result certain web pages are not able to load, correctly or at all. Something to do with the destination website ip records not being updated by the host... not much you can do really.

Maybe Linux is for you castout. just use windows for gaming and linux for internet

Linux Redhat, Centros are the best security web sever distros where SuSe or Ubuntu are the best desktop distros according to this geek. Ive tried Ubuntu and Redhat in the past both are great security is top notch.

Whats the best Linux for Desktop or WebServer? WHM Cpanel Web Hosting Security tips.

You might want to try an alternate DNS. There's quite a few public ones to choose from, so if you're interested, take a look at the following doc:

I'll have a look at that.

I've tried google and opendns before now and logged them in my router.
The results have been somewhat erratic: speeds and ping being effected badly or not at all.
Last time I used opendns it doubled my ping to a uk server and made browsing impossible - click on web page, then go and make cup of tea whilst it is loading.
I've had all sorts of diagnostic things to test, and came to the conclusion that the best thing to do would be to get the telephone dropline replaced to reduce noise on the line, but BT charge really stupid money for such things. As for the dns issue, well, sometimes ff 'cannot load page' so I just click again 3 or 4 times and usually there's no problem. 90% of the time it's ok, but I think most of my broadband problems stem from the infrastructure outside the house - noise margins vary depending on weather and time of day.
The ip range thing is down to the website I'm trying to connect to; my isp forwards the appropriate information, but it's up to the host to apply the list. At least that's the explanation I was given.
