[URL='https://www.dns0.eu/zero']ZERO — Hardened security for highly sensitive environments.[/URL] (it may break [B]not [/B]legit streaming sites thanks to blocking newly registered domains). Benefits of the DNS listed at bottom of the page. If you doubt the file wait 3 days before installing and upload it to virustotal then. Most AV vendors would picked up on it then. Use Norton Power Eraser as a second opinion scanner to check if your pc is clean (it's free and only scanning when you tell it to so no two AV running at the same time). A good hassle free starting tool: Configure Defender on "High" like South Park already mentioned. [/QUOTE]
