If the network shield blocked access I don’t believe you have a problem as it shouldn’t have activated anything. To reassure yourself it won’t hurt to do the first three.
Given that, please modify your post and change the www to wXw.google.cm to break the link so it isn’t active, avoiding accidental exposure.
Interestingly for me the .google.cm doesn’t redirect to anywhere other than .google.com and the reason for that I’m sure is down to my using the OpenDNS.ors DNS servers as it tries to correct obvious typos, so I would also suggest you pay a visit to OpenDNS.
Thanks for the replies. It’s clear that you are both OpenDNS fans. However have you experienced any issues or problems with the service? Has OpenDNS reduced your internet connection speed?
Would appreciate hearing from your practical experience with OpenDNS.
It is so good, you don’t know it is there (until it alerts/blocks a site or corrects a typo you made in a URL or offers suggestions if a site isn’t found), it doesn’t get in the way or impede my blisteringly hot dial-up connection
What assurances do you have of your existing DNS server (none), do you even know who operates it (you probably don’t know).
So when you answer both those responses then ask yourself the same about an Organisation that you do know who are committed to protection from malware and if you set it up parental controls, etc. There really is no contest.
Recently there was a DNS server issue where many were being exploited by malware, and there are still many that are vulnerable to exploit, but guess what OpenDNS never was they have been ahead of the curve in that regard.
That is my last on the issue, you can lead a horse to water but they have to want to drink, your choice.
Thank you again for your contributions. Compared to one plonker on this board you have both demonstrated kindness, patience and a professional approach.
OpenDNS is now up and running and appears to be working well.
hXXp://www.google.cm redirects you to hXXp://login.tracking101.com/sw/83574/CD15759/ (See picture for proof) and when I try viewing the source of hXXp://login.tracking101.com/sw/83574/CD15759/ it says unable to access the website.
