There are two reasons this might be happening: 1) You're not using the latest version of QuickDNS Pro. If this is the case, you can update your copy. Details are on our website. In essence, if you have version 2.x, the update is free; if you have version 1.x, there is an update cost. 2) You're using the forwarding option, and one or more of the forward servers is spoofable. In this case, the only solution is to stop forwarding query to any spoofable server. Examples of spoofable servers are Vicomsoft's DNS resolver (part of Internet Gateway) and Microsoft's DNS server. (To my knowledge, both companies have only recently been notified of the problem.) ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
