rajeesh Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Alureon is a malware designed to redirect the traffic to fake websites in order to steal user information such as financial transaction info or personal stuff like usernames, passwords e.t.c. Alureon will also change the DNS of a system and redirect it to another server without any warning due to which that system won’t be able to access internet. To check if your computer is infected or not; the DNS Changer Working Group created a list of websites which will tell you whether your PC is safe or not. One of such websites is http://www.dns-ok.us/. Click on the website and it will tell you the status of your PC. If its GREEN your PC is safe but if its RED, your PC is possibly infected and you may lose your internet connection. Here’s the list of websites where you can check if your PC is infected or not. To be on a safer side it is suggested not to make any online transaction or download any unknown file from the internet on July 9th 2012.
