[Simply Computers] Re: OpenDNS Problem

 

Hi Wizards,

Thank you for the quick overwhelming repond .Well I am also confused
about the OpenDNS behaviour.
It's supposed to be legit and know its function are supposed to be help
full.I am pretty sure I have not subscribed to OpenDNS although I have
been to their site maybe just registered with them for login purpose. I
have checked with the CRM of my ISP,they also are not sure as yet why
this has happened.According to thenm these anti-virus sites are not blocked.

Currently I am using win2000 pro SP4(bear with me,I know I am still
livin in dino era) but it still serves me
quite well.I also have Trend Micro Anti-Spyware,Anti Trojan Elite
currently running.I did detect some trojans
and they are taken care by the anti-virus I believe so.Today I searched
for Norton anti virus through Goole search.
I was given www.symantec-norton.com as search result.Then when I
clicked on that link,it took me straight to OpenDNS site.Still
puzzled,I know my last resort..reinstall windows but I will try for
other options first.

I really love the curiosity and learning infections from the members in
this group.I will keep posted
of my progress from the suggestion given by you all.

Effort much appreciated.
