NortonDNS
Norton DNS provides alternative DNS servers that can be used by any Internet-connected device. Their DNS servers will also block malware and phishing websites.
It’s currently a free beta available on 198.153.192.1 and 198.153.194.1. Visit http://www.nortondns.com/ for more information.
For home users, the following may be a nice setup:
- setting your DNS to Norton’s new service
- surfing with Firefox
- using adblock plus (with appropriate subscriptions) and Web of Trust
- Siteadvisor
- Winpatrol
- MalwareBytes
Or, for the more technical, running James McQuaid’s “DNS Super Black Hole” would provide even better protection.
For those running their own dns servers, running the dns-bh list internally while pointing to Norton’s DNS may be worth considering.
Right now their service is free, we are not sure if this service will remain free or will need to be purchased after the beta is over.
