&gt; &nbsp;I'm just wondering if my arp has been poisoned<br />
arp doesn't matter here 'cause it only handles IPs in the same logical subnet<br />
<br />
&gt;&nbsp;.. &nbsp;if the DNS servers you are pointed to are legit?<br />
if you doubt that your ISP is reliable, change it.

So I basically hit a website by mistake that had a ton of active x controls. viruses and spyware on it. I spent a good while using verious spyware removal tools and my virus scan to remove them. Plus I created a new profile and deleted the corrupt one in windows xp pro. <br />
<br />
Anyways. I was checking the dns Servers my ISP is handing out ot me. &nbsp;Are there any sites on the Internet to find out if the DNS servers you are pointed to are legit? &nbsp;I'm just wondering if my arp has been poisoned by the viruses or something els is going on. I tired calling my ISP tech support but the help desk is clueless.

How to find out if nameserver is legit

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
