What is Extenbro Dns?
Extenbro Dns is a dangerous infection that can seriously jeopardize your system’s security. It is a Trojan infection, and thus, it can remain hidden in your system for a long time before you notice that something is off. Computer security experts recommend that users run regular system scans to detect such infections as soon as possible. If you want to remove Extenbro Dns from your system, you should acquire a powerful security application that will help you terminate the Trojan for good. It is also possible that there are more dangerous programs on-board, so you need to take care of those, too.
Where does Extenbro Dns come from?
Normally, Trojans slither into the target system when they pretend to be something they are not. Most of the time, users don’t even realize that these dangerous programs get installed on their computers because they are focused on something else.
As far as we know, Extenbro Dns usually comes bundled with freeware. It means that users download and initiate the Trojan installation themselves, although they are not aware of that. This means that to prevent Trojan infection, you should refrain from downloading programs from file-sharing websites. It is very common for third-party installers to bundle several programs in one batch, and users are seldom informed about it.
Of course, you can always scan the downloaded file with a security tool before you open it. That would actually be a pretty good habit, considering that it would also help you avoid ransomware infections. However, users tend to go through program installation automatically, and they usually end up installing multiple unwanted applications.

What does Extenbro Dns do?
This program will not cripple your system, but it can be used in tandem with some other infection, which would eventually lead to data loss or software failure. As you can probably tell from its name, Extenbro Dns is there to modify your DNS settings. During our research, we have found that this Trojan changes DNS settings to 92.246.76.123, 45.86.180.227, 116.203.6.218, 185.130.104.222. After that, the Trojan blocks access to a number of security websites, thus preventing you from downloading security software. As far as we know, Extenbro Dns blocks Avast, Avg, Kaspersky, and other websites.
When you cannot download security software, your system becomes vulnerable, and other malicious infections can easily take it over. Therefore, we believe that Extenbro Dns could be used as a tool by other malicious programs to lower the target system’s defenses before the actual payload comes through.
So, what can happen when Extenbro Dns gets coupled with another infection? If it’s another Trojan, it is possible that the infection could log your keystrokes to steal your banking logins and passwords. Trojans often go for sensitive personal information, log it, and then share it with its control and command center. Sometimes, it could also turn your computer into a bot that is used for various purposes. It could be used to carry out a DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attack or to mine cryptocurrency. Whichever it is, it is clear that dangerous infections always start with something small, and the sooner you remove Extenbro Dns from your system, the better.
How do I remove Extenbro Dns?
As mentioned, the most efficient way to remove Extenbro Dns is to acquire a legitimate security tool that would terminate all the malicious components automatically. You can also use the manual removal guidelines below this description. However, keep in mind that the guidelines deal only with Extenbro Dns, and if you have more dangerous threats on-board, you most definitely have to run a full PC scan with a powerful security tool.
Aside from investing in a powerful security tool, you should also consider backing up all of your files on an external hard drive or a cloud drive. That is also very important these days because ransomware infections are always waiting for you. Finally, do not hesitate to educate yourself about cybersecurity if you feel you don’t know something.
