Posted: February 21, 2008

Dns404.net is a corrupt browser hijacker that is usually downloaded and installed onto your computer by a Trojan, infiltrating your machine by exploiting browser security weaknesses. After dns404.net is installed, it will change your browser settings and redirect your homepage to www.dns404.net, as well as other malicious websites. Dns404.net loads at Windows boot and generates false Windows-like notifications of non-existent privacy and security violations. Dns404.net will then repeatedly offer certain rogue anti-spyware applications to “help” you get rid of the parasites it “found”. It is strongly recommended to remove dns404.net from your system immediately.
