Tried getting on foot a few minutes ago but a white page popped up telling me Open DNS has blocked access to foot because of the Conficker virus :confused:, it included the link i posted a the top of this post.

Anyways, i went back to the regular UPC DNS and the site is working now, i just wanted to post that, does it mean the site is infected with a virus or what?

You're right, it is. I've filed a request to get it unblocked, or an explanation. Thanks for letting me know.

This is fixed now:


The list we have is a "speculative" list based upon where we believe the conficker virus will try and connect. It is not always correct since it is based upon predictions. Your domain was one of the 1% percent that are actually valid domains. You do not need to worry, this was just an invalid entry and we apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. Thanks again.
