What is OpenDNs

get a shortcut from OpenDNs Guide screen when I open an email and try to click on it to go to the real website.  the popup says he has been "blocked" because it was "adware" or "encounters" - I don't know how it happened, I've managed to go on these sites without problem.  I went to the site of OpenDNs Guide, did not know if I should trust the site - if he was allowed to follow instructions or not.

OpenDNS is a provider of DNS name resolution.  If you or someone you know the value upward on your PC, router or modem, it is almost certainly your ISP in partnership with OpenDNS to give you name resolution.

DNS is the component of the modern Internet, which allows your computer how to reach any domain name on the Internet, such as "answers.microsoft.com".

OpenDNS is not harmful.  I found that it is sometimes annoying, but it is not harmful.

Most often when OpenDNS blocks access to a site, especially if it's one provided in an email, it is because the site engages in a harmful activity as silently install malware on your PC, or trick you install malware by promising that there's something you need or will help your PC instead of him harm.  OpenDNS also blocks access to a site that claims to be a trusted site, in order to prevent you from being cheated by giving sensitive information like passwords to a total stranger.

  • Protection against viruses, need both ClamXav and opendns?

    Recently, I got a Trojan virus on my MacBook Pro stupidly opening an attachment of Google Docs sent to me by e-mail.  I changed the password, the deleted e-mail created by the virus filter and changed the dns to opendns.  Now I'm running ClamXav for a good scan.  I see an offer to purchase opendns on an annual basis.  Is it recommended to buy the two ClamXav and opendns?  What are different and they compliment each other?

    You shouldn't have to be.  Generally running a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac will identify these problems and allow you to eliminate them.

    It does not run in the background, so it will not have any impact on the negative performance on your Mac.

    In addition, it is often recommended by the phone Apple support technicians and the genius bar.

    When I put the time, she can use the internet, she changes the time on the computer and returns on the internet.  What can I do?

    Not enough information.  You have provided no context.  You don't say what version of Windows you are using and you don't really describe the situation in many details.  Reading between the lines, it looks like you have a child who has time on the Internet you want to limit.  You do not tell us what tools you use to control this limit online, so it is difficult to recommend the right forum for your post.  Please update your message with a more detailed description of what is happening and what you want to do.

    One thing that comes to mind is using Live Parental control with a Netgear router.  See http://www.netgear.com/lpc.  LPC uses the service OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/)

    After the update my wife 5 iPhone and my iPhone 6 ios 10.0.2, we met problems.  His phone will not ring when a call comes in, and my phone does not sound an alert when a message arrives.

    Hi MikeDallos,

    I understand that after your wife 5 iPhone update and your iPhone 6 the new iOS, you both know questions in regards the phone doesn't ring do not or may not alert you to the alert notifications when you receive a message. I use my iPhone all the time and I count on the possibility of having my phone alert me for incoming calls and messages. We'll see what we can do.

    The first thing I want you to do is to restart the two iPhones. Make sure that your wife's iPhone has the ring/silent switch on mute.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Here is an article that goes on measures to be taken for this issue:

    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch speaker

    For your iPhone you did not give a warning sound with message notifications, you'll also want to review this article as well:

    Use the Notifications on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Please tender back if you still have problems.

    Have a great day.

  • What happens in Sierra w Canon scanners?

    Canon started late to upgrade the drivers for its scanners, but the list of those still pending is very long...

    My question is: Sierra is a minor update (i.e. risk limited) or rewriting profoundly affects the relevant areas in the analysis? What is likely to happen if I update before the drivers are ready?

    Specifically, I am trying to scan documents Canon imageFORMULA DR-C225W

    Thank you

    Is Sierra a minor update?

    No upgrade of the OS is minor. Framework can load and existing software may be rendered uselss.

    Apple provides the operating system to developers in advance months to make changes are necessary for the developer to make their decision on what they want to do. Some developers will be in fact stop software for older models and you can not see support for a specific device. In these events, contact Canon and see if they can provide a beta driver or provide a workaround solution. Otherwise, it is an excellent reason to keep a backup of your computer to restore it at a time where the operating system and the hardware work together where Sierra makes the incompatible camera and canon does not offer a solution.

  • What are disk images and can they be removed

    In downloads, I have a lot of disk images containing memory - such as Chrome - beyond 1 GB.

    I can remove them? Does make a difference? What are doing?

    All the other tips to speed up my mac because it is really slow!

    Have just updated the OS to Sierra - & that made matters worse, not better!

    A disk image is a convenient way for a developer to package and deliver the program. Once you have copied the program in your Applications folder, there is no reason to keep. You can safely remove. Note: Make sure that you have copied the image program in your applications folder before deleting.

  • What is the speed for OS 10.10 on 13-inch, early 2009

    My 13-inch, Early 2009 MacBook runs with OS 10.9.5 basically OK on speed, and it's a very good, loaded with the fine software is useful but old and slow sometimes with all additional popups and deflect and is very nervous about the links I don't want and mail that I didn't delete.

    The system is pushing me to the update/update 10.10 and I continue to resist the Apple push, the fear of losing what I have and I'm really happy with.

    I was looking for the answer among existing similar concerns, but did not get the simple answer and clear what will I win by the new OS 10.10.

    My fear is real or just scared?

    Apple has removed 10.10.5 and 10.11.5 from the App Store, so only your option upgrade is 10.12.

  • Does anyone know what my kernel panic kext refers to?

    I was having repeated panic the kernel in the Sierra, all type 13 and all listing the kext even first in the backtrace:

    Extensions of core in backtrace:

    com Apple.KEC.pthread

    I'm not a developer so I am just grasp at straws in my diagnosis, but does anyone know what exactly that might be related to the?

    For the record, I tried to remove RAM 3 rd-party and disconnect all devices. I have not been able to identify specific behavior that triggers the panic, and it may happen even when the computer is not used. I tried the Safe Mode for short periods of time without incident, but who can tell me only so much. I have an own account which has not yet experienced the problem, but I can't run in very long and get real work done. I'm open to other ideas for troubleshooting. I really do not have to recreate my account from scratch.

    The first class kext is can be the last load one - that is not necessarily the one that is choking on the Mac.

    If you want to help spread the output in full panic. Frankly, I don't have the ability to diagnose for you, all I know is that you give us your own diagnosis when the symptoms detailed is really required to help.
