how change of dns, nullifies the vulnerability
Boggin:
I did but I don't particularly want to log into the site - so is your IP address in the same group as 117.193.241.### ?

Hi, No boggins. I only wish to point out that external ips if logged on by users on affected ips, would be security concern and want a kind of fix. Even when you change the dns to google in the router, this attack is not given thought. I think so. So, could i cometo the conclusion that even external ips are security concerns . It shows my ip as not affected, and in your case, it would have shown, your ip and near ips infected . Is that correct, boggin.
I am extremely thankful to you for your considered reply in a way to help the users to understand in tech details.
Boggin:
I'm not sure why it considers an IP suspicious as I've checked a couple near you on Clean Talk and nothing is known on them - try some for yourself.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Does this site now has this check on spam ?
Individual computers may be vulnerable, and so is the individual ips when allotted automatically to any users. if that user logs in to the time , when he is allotted the infected ips, then there is no escape from the vulnerability, as for that session, the user is using his computer on infected ip.
I also find that it is always best to have dynamic ips. I do not think , that ISPs are doing anything to correct the infected ips with their servers. Some ISPs are using other servers also to serve you.
This is the thing that i want to be safeguarded.
What is the button get clean.....in the bottom of your link referred?
Boggin:
I remember from your previous posts that you weren't getting any alerts when using Google's DNS servers and the alerts were only there when using your ISP's.
I think it would be prudent to continue using Google's servers.
I don't think your assigned ISP ext. IP address will be infected, but there seems to be something not right when using their DNS servers.
That website is what we use to check if an IP address of someone who has registered on the forum is a known spammer.
You can also enter their email address which may come up with more info.
Try it with your own and then see if anyone has spoofed it - that can happen and then your IP address gets blacklisted, so you would need to change yours which you can do by switching off and unplugging all of the cables from the router for about 30mins, as well as switching off your computer.
Then when you switch the router back on and all of its lights are on, switch the computer back on and www.speedtest.net will display your new one.
I wouldn't worry too much about your ext. IP address unless you end up blacklisted - that Honeypot website doesn't support what I've found when running those IP addresses with the (S) or the (SD) after them - no suspicious activity.
