From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Found an attack that I've not been able to have any virus/spyware scan
detect, Wareout.  It re-directs web searches through a set of dns servers
in the Ukraine.

The boss's laptop was doing that, and also, it manually changed his DNS
servers to 85.245.x.x, which started to restrict his access to some other
corporate B to B sites.

Took some time to find the source of the problem, but the info at
Majorgeeks.com allowed me to clean the laptop in about 45 minutes.
