About DNS :

It can happen that you have a good connection but the websites don’t open as quickly as you had expected. This can happen due to slow DNS ( Domain Name Service ) which has to “convert / translate” the names of the website to the numerical address of the server which is something like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and connect to the server.

If the server responds with good speeds then probably you can get a lot faster browsing experience……I stress on “browsing” because download speeds are not affected by changing your DNS servers….

OpenDNS claims they have the fastest DNS servers (and free!!!) which are spread in many locations in the world to speed up your browsing. They also provide many other services like content filtering and ip / website banning. This can be helpful if you want to ban a specific category of sites like adult or nudity etc. The filter works great and the speeds are also good. You can even change the error message whenever  it notifies the users that the site is blog. You can even implement the filtering and use OpenDNS service for more than one IP’s.

If you are on dial-up or do not have a static IP, then you can download a small utility called OpenDNS Updater, which updates your current dynamic IP to the openDNS servers to effectively implement your filtering rules and for a better browsing experience.

So….if you need to change your DNS servers then foloow this simple procedure.

1. Go to Control Panel —> Network Connections.

2. Then select the connection which you use to connect to the internet and right click it and then click on Properties.

3. Then select the Networking tab…

4. Select Internet Protocol and Click on Properties.

5. Then Change the DNS servers. Primary DNS : 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS : 208.67.220.220

6. Click on Ok and close all the tabs. The changes will not take place until you reconnect to the Internet.

BOOKMARK TO:

Do you regularly plug-in your USB pen / thumb drive into your computer. Then you are at a greater risk of autorun viruses.

These viruses embed themselves to the system by modifying the autorun.inf entry files of all or some local drives / partitions and run whenever you double click or open your drives. It works in the background and many a times an anti-virus software doen not detect it but it keeps infecting all the removable devices that are connected to the infected computer. This in turn spreads the infection and keeps the virus chain alive.

If you try to delete the autorun.inf file from your drive then you cannot access the drive directly by double clicking. And the virus automatically creates a new autorun.inf file to keep itself *ALIVE*

Now some free tools available on the internet help your PC to be protected before it gets infected with such kind of viruses.

Below are the links for downloading the Autorun Virus Removal Software.
