myfamily.com dns poisoning?

[Guest]

Hi all,

Has anyone found a fix for a weird homepage redirection for myfamily.com?
We ran virus and antispyware, but everything is clean. I am leaning toward a
DNS issue. We use Windows 2000 DNS servers.

Thanks,

What weird redirection? What poisoning? I can hit myfamily.com site w/o a
problem. No redirection here.

Sorry I was unclear. Sites like google or yahoo or other sites gets
redirected to myfamily.com.

Thanks,

Try restarting your DNS service if you suspect DNS.

On one of the clients that have problems, look in the hosts file to see if
there is any funny entry in there. There are a lot of viruses that do this.

Unless you've changed something Win2K/2K3 DNS are configured to protect
against pollution by default. You can look at your DNS server properties to
see if the option is unchecked.

We too are seeing this problem. I have had to block myfamily.com on
our firewall to try to prevent this. Seems the DNS servers get
myfamily.com incorported into them and everyone gets redirected to this
web page. You have to go into your dns server and clear them out and
they will re-populate. This has happened twice to us and so far we
don't know why our internal dns servers are having this problem, as no
viruses have been found or spyware.
