New Trojan Hijacks Your Internet Traffic

Security experts from MicroWorld Technologies inform that 'Trojan-Clicker.Win32.Qhost.v' is a new variant of the Trojan Clicker series. This malware spreads via email attachments targeting DNS servers to redirect web traffic towards specific websites.

By exploiting vulnerabilities in the Internet Explorer and Internet Connectivity components of Windows, 'Qhost.v' reroutes victim's machines to pre decided websites and other online resources. It provides necessary commands to the browser or overwrites system files where standard web addresses are stored. HNS - New Trojan Hijacks Your Internet Traffic
