    Hi,

    I run SpySweeper on my computers and recently it has detected and stopped a connection to LyricsDownload while I have been surfing several different sites. This has happened on two of my computers, one of which has been reformatted and had XP reinstalled on it within the last week with very few other applications (AVG, SpySweeper, mIRC, Adobe Reader).

    This leave me suspecting OpenDNS. I plan on switching back to my ISP's DNS server, at least until I see one more connection attempt to LyricsDownload.

    Thanks,

    David

    Hi

    I would try switching back to test to your ISP DNS, although I have not noticed any issues with that site with using openDNS, but this could be a random issue that if I'm not on that site alot, I wont see it.

    Could be that SpySweeper as added this site to its blocked list as some users may have flaged up spam or malware coming off that site, check any users have not been mentioning this on OpenDNS or SpySweeper support.
