    Faster, Safer Internet with Free Norton DNS


    Today we’re sharing the exciting update that we’re taking Norton DNS for PC users out of beta. As you may recall, Norton DNS was launched in May as part of our Norton Everywhere announcement, which aims to take our consumer business beyond the PC. Since that launch, Norton DNS has gained more than 250,000 beta users from 112 different countries. These users have enjoyed a safer internet experience from the more than 1.4 million malware block pages per month that have been displayed when users encountered harmful websites.

    So a third company has jumped on the DNS bandwagon, joining Google and Comodo. Seems like we have more choices than ever with regards to who we trust out Internet browsing history to. But... it's probably a useful alternative since numerous ISPs aren't as pro-active as they should be about protecting their customers.

    There are more DNS providers than Norton, Comodo and Google. There is OpenDNS, ClearCloud DNS (still beta), ScrubIT and DynDNS.com Internet Guide (DynDNS provides DNS infrastructure for Norton DNS).

    I didn't know about OpenDNS and ClearlCloud, clearly there are more players in the game. Thank you for the info~

    Mm, isn't DynDNS the service that dialup users ...use to give themselves some sort of static web address?
