You are not dumb as far as what to put on your computer. But you are not suspicious enough of the government. What do you think? I am guessing there are just about 570,000 computers whose addresses the government wants to collect. Maybe yours is one of them, eh?

My networks also run off of OpenDNS and I block .br .cn .in .info .ir .kr .kz .ro .ru .sa TLDs. That's a good list of TLDs to block. Also, many people consider ".cm" (Cameroon) another good one to block (it's particularly an apt one for typesquatting ".com" domains.)
The summary at McAfee Pinpoints the Web's Riskiest Domains also includes ".ws" as another TLD liable to be problematic.

Joke is on you my friend. Google "Deep Packet Inspection". Joke is on you my friend. Google is not a friend of individual privacy.

Just so.
I would love to see an alternate euphemism for web search grow in popularity. I call them gargoyle.com

True in the past, but everyone agrees that Windows 7 is the best version of Windows since Windows 2000 Professional and have said that Security Essentials 2.0 does work quite well as a means to defend against malware attacks.
Yes, Norton Internet Security is excellent, but it's not cheap: about US$54 per year for a three-use license.

Is Malwarebytes effective against the damn pervasive, http://text-enhance.com/.
My current anti Malware has stopped it from being a constant pia re key words and connecting to advertising links.
Now it just pops up and doesn’t take over.
I would like to kill it/isolate it and never see it again.
Thanks

"I guess/sounds like, theres no way to block DPIs, is there?" Nope, no way to defeat DPI because it is built into the system, unless of course you want to get into war driving.

Have you done a “cookie” search on C:/ and cleaned both its cookies/URLs from the file? I can do that quickly from within the Opera Browser v11.62 instead of using Win-Explorer. Sounds like it’s in a file somewhere on your OS.

Sorry, I missed your question about Malwarebytes against the www.text-enhance.com/ pest.
Try the free version; if it doesn’t work, it’s easy to uninstall wo/ problems.

Otherwise, try a simple “cookie” search w/ Windoze Explorer on your C:/, and go thru the h-u-g-e list it displays, and find it, delete it and go to the end where the URLs are displayed, and zap those which refer to it, too.
