Re: SpywareInfo.com, bad news......
@Name Game,
Thanks for the heads up on this.
It is very sad to see. And in the future for cases like this, it would be wonderful if OpenDNS or other DNS servers would offer a "safe" alternative, with some mention that the original site contents were available under a different URL.
I am not denigrating their efforts to block the original URL of the site. I think that is great too.
SWI had and has attracted some awfully bright folks in the malware removal field, and it is heartening to see them in a new home.
Best regards, and thank you again,
Bill

Not properly categorized? from using OPENDNS servers I have Opendns and opened an account with them. Could you please explain to me how to have it block this and other undesireable sites? Thank you.

Does anyone know what filter I have to set to have these sites blocked automatically in opendns.com?

| Hi MarkAW,
Thanks so much for the screenshots. I blocked searchportal.information.com and then chose to block all categories that include it and was presented with a confirmation for adware and parked domain. I checked both.
I appreciate your help very much.
Sincerely, Libra |

Another old site goes under the auction block, this time it concern merijn.org
The domain is on Mike's server and GoDaddy seems to be slaughtering everything connected to Mike, now that they realize he cannot be contacted.

All these great sites?
I wan't to be a cleaner but found myself needing more training which was/is still frustrating me, but see all these sites being treated this way, and the end of the rein of Paul at CastleCops, what is happening to all the work that some great people started......what a mess.
Let's hope the next 5 to 10 years has as much to offer us.

Be careful of the links. I noticed the Spywareinfo graphic button on the right side of the page still leads to the .com address and there may be other issues as the last post indicates not being able to update that site in September 2008. The link to the mirror at CCSP is stopped at Feb 2008...

Hilo, HI | That's right. I almost copy/pasted. I think coldmoon should remove it entirely. |
