visually checked, thank you.
According to the page you get when you run the check, it does NOT guarantte that your PC is actually clean
What it says is -
DNS Resolution = GREEN
Your computer appears to be looking up IP addresses correctly!
Had your computer been infected with DNS changer malware you would have seen a red background.
Please note, however, that if your ISP is redirecting DNS traffic for its customers you would have reached this site even though you are infected.
For additional information regarding the DNS changer malware, please visit the FBI's website at:
