Ok I have virtual pc on my computer, and I have been looking for spyware, and have found some and one thing that was not a virus but the real thing made pc tools firewall come up and say that the program wanted to do a dns resolve, so I would like to know what a dns resolve is.



(Don’t worry about the virtual pc its fine, it’s all cleaned out except one nasty rootkit witch I will be able to kill.)

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. When you type geekstogo.com into your browser, a domain name server looksup geekstogo.com and finds that it's located at the IP address of 208.43.44.138. While domain names are easy to remember, all computers connect to each other using IP addresses, including when online.

A DNS resolve exploit redirects the domain to another server than you were expecting. The difficult part is that it looks the same in your browser, so it can be difficult to detect. For example, if you typed geekstogo.com into your browser, but a DNS exploit directed you to 127.0.0.1, you would be unable to reach the site (or get help). Another common use is to redirect all Google searches so that every result is just an advertisement.
