Hey guys. I'm seeing strange DNS errors in my Windows Logs, and I'm getting a bit concerned. The errors are as follows:
Name resolution for the name http://www.crawlability.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
Name resolution for the name http://www.clubfiat.net timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
I did have one incident this evening while visiting the site "Encyclopedia Dramatica". I was viewing an article with inline video content which was blocked by NoScript. They looked like standard Youtube frames, so I allowed only the main Encyclopedia Dramatica site through. Immediately after making the allowance, I got an XXX popup. I never get popups with my current config of Firefox and AdBlock+NoScript. Neither MSSE or Malwarebytes reported anything then, or after doing scans. The DNS errors occurred a couple hours after this, and had never been previously reported (though my Windows install is only about a month old).
I googled the errors, and then only thing I found of substance was this guy reporting the same two errors. That's a bit concerning to me. What are the chances that I get the same two DNS errors as some random guy on the internet?
Here's where it gets really bizarre: I fired up a spare laptop with a just-installed clean copy of Windows on it. I've done virtually nothing with this laptop yet, aside from installing drivers and windows updates. After about a half-hour of use, I started seeing the same DNS errors in the Windows logs. What the hell?? How is that possible?
Any help is appreciated
