Hi,
One of my user using fedora 10, 2.6.27.24-170.2.68, withFirefox 3.5.3. While browsing some sites it gets redirected to PORN sites.
( Single porn site opens if users misspelled production site name/urls ) ( porn site - kingofporn )
Is it a malware, virus, spyware ...infected..? If yes .... what to do ....is their any spyware, malware remover available.
Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.hesco-lf.com Since others are not being redirected, it is presumed that mtnl DNS is ok.
So it looks like your DNS is spoofed. This could happen in any number of ways. edit resolv.conf to use opendns (assuming that fedora and this install uses resolv.conf).
If he is using an adsl, check the password on the adsl modem. If it is the default, change it after getting the adsl to the default factory setting and reconfiguring. If it continues to misdirect to porn you will have to reflash the adsl with a known good firmware (or simply chuck it out and get a new one for Rs.1500 odd).
BTW, yet to hear of a malware infection on linux in 10 years.
