and where is this "start" you speak of? Are you grasping the magnitude yet?

As if I knew how to do that. lol
I know peeps who know stuff. If my comp stops working - I'll trust them to handle it.

Well sure, the procedure is even safer if you don't do it. :) I'm just saying, you're not editing the registry or anything where one wrong keystroke sends things into oblivion. You can't break anything just by opening a command window.

Oh, I fully understand. I deal with users of this magnitude on a daily basis. :comp1:

Hey Cyber? (or anybody else who would know)

My list of stuffs don't look exactly like your list of stuffs, but, I only show one DNS Server - 10.0.0.1.

Do I need to get with my ISP, or am I good to go or what? (I'm not really sure of the difference between static and dynamic as applicable to IP addresses. Dynamic changes every time I log on?)

I woulda posted a screen shot, but, I'm paranoid and don't know what to hide and what's ok for the world to see.

I ran through the test at the link in the OP ( http://www.dcwg.org ). It's legit, as far as I can tell. That is the most straightforward way to check to see if you're in "trouble".

Yeah, when it comes to the list of suspect IPs, that's okay, but the number itself suggests that you connect using a router... Cisco possibly? If that's so, you might want to check what IP the router is using for its DNS settings. You can Google your router brand to find out how to do this.

And you're right, dynamic connections will automatically change that IP address (and a few others) each time you connect to the server. For most people, this is a completely invisible process. So, if you get one of the bad IPs, a restart of your system will change it and you'll be good (assuming your system still doesn't have the virus). Static connections are manually set with a specific IP address and will not change after a restart.
