Has anyone seen the new 'killing hazard' redirect virus/trojan?
I have been getting since 9/26 a new redirect-style virus/trojan. It masquerades as a "popup" antivirus. Any attempt to kill the popup (click on the right-corner exit, etc) starts the virus-scanning operation of the fake anti-virus. I have flagfox, which says that the page is chinese. I must kill Firefox to eliminate the page. I have run malwarebytes with a completely updated database, with no malware detected.

I had the same problem and found out that the virus changed my router's settings: instead of the correct setting DNS Address "Get Automatically from ISP", the virus changed it to a specific DNS server: 213.109.69.44 I realized that something must be wrong with my router when all my devices (including my iPhone) were being redirected to the fake anti-virus web page when connecting to the internet through that router.
