 DNS Poisoned Hey there, My little brother plays Habbo, and has recently been hacked. He told me he downloaded something from a website, and apparently that's what did it. His friend was told by the hacker that www.habbo.com on our computer is now 'dns poisoned'. The website doesn't always load properly now, and it doesn't seem to be the official website due to the number of 'Habbo's Online' ALWAYS stays the same. I was wondering how I could fix it for him? I'm not very tech-savvy but have been reading up on it. I've tried to do /flushdns and it hasn't sorted it. How could I resolve this problem? Thanks, James Edit: I have ran a whole computer scan using NOD32 and it has not resolved the problem. |

| DNS Poisoned Maybe the "hacker" edited the hostfile? You didn't say what OS you use, so I just assumed XP.
