    Conficker Virus - Open DNS

    http://blog.opendns.com/2009/03/30/w...-your-network/

    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 , 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:

    Thanks again.
