For me the spywareinfo.com requests were processed by static.parkingpanel.com
Guess I'll just block them too.

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
