Dns lookup problems?

Hallyington

My personal laptop suddenly started about 2 days ago to stop loading pages and its blaming the dns lookup. I tried clearing the dns cache and the classic turn on and off the router but alas it did **** all. So should i switch to opendns? And how..?

It is very much possible that your computer is infected with DNSChanger, with changed your DNS settings to bogus DNS servers. Those have been under the control of the FBI for the past 8 months but they have shut them down this weekend.

Or you could try the google ones:

The Free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can easily detect and remove this rogue DNS application and is suggested to do so. The paid version protects against this type of threat from happening.
