If it comes back again, you will need to reinstall your pc.

Thank you so much. Had this problem on both computers on my home network. It resulted in one computer getting infected so I had to reinstall the OS. Then it appeared on the other one but I never opened the web sites on the this machine so it never got infected. Anyway, I found that my router had been set to use the DNS IP addresses above and was able to correct that. I think I’m OK now. Thanks again.
I don’t think it comes from surfing websites. It must have come from .exe application which gave permission for the hijacker to hijack our computers. Till now, i have no idea which application .exe which lead to this …
Hello! I am the owner of http://www.trafficrevenue.net and I wanted to let you know that we are not responsible for the described problem.
Someone redirects ads.trafficrevenue.net to a server which does not belong to us (via fake DNS servers). We are doing our very best to block it, however as these DNS servers are located in Russia and Ukraine, I am worried there is not much to be done.
Perhaps you can disqualified that particular account holder
Ive got this same problem. it affected all my computers on my network and its a real pain in the you know what.
What do we do to fix the faulty DNS .19 virus location? Is there a default DNS we should use?
If you’re using Dlink router, go to setup–>MANUAL INTERNET CONNECTION OPTIONS–>Primary DNS Address[change the ip here according to your country]
and Secondary DNS Address [change the ip here according to your country]
Pick 2 different DNS ip from the list below and include one in your Primary and another one in ur Secondary DNS ip
You can find the list of countries dns ips here

if you’re country not listed in that forum, then you need to check with your own ISP (Internet server provider)
Make sure you have reinstall ur OS and then change the DNS ip, if you haven’t reinstall, they might be some exe application that gave permission for the hijacker to hijack ur pc again….
