    Hey guys, this morning Windows Defender notified me that it had eliminated a threat. After some investigating I found out that it detected a trojan in the folder where Next DNS is installed. However I am sure that Next DNS is trustworthy and that the detection is a false positive. Does anybody else have the same issue ?

    Windows Defender is blocking too much saying it viruses

    Hi Sam,

    Based on the screenshot that you've provided, Controlled Folder Access is turned on, blocking most apps that you're using. We suggest that you turn it off to allow blocked apps in Windows Defender. Follow the steps below:

    • Select Start > Settings.
    • Choose Update & security > Windows Defender.
    • Select Open Windows Defender Security Center.
    • Select Virus & threat protection, and then choose Virus & threat protection settings.
    • Under Controlled folder access, turn it on or off.
    • Once done, try accessing the apps and see if you can now access them.

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to post back.

    Safe DNS Project

    Hey everyone! I am running a usability experiment to see how naive it might be to provide everyday users the ability to browse the internet in a safer manner.

    To accomplish this I am running a public DNS server that is running Pi-Hole with extended definitions.

    This experiment ties in directly with the guide im currently writing here:

    Guide: Global Network DNS blacklisting (Pi-Hole)

    To do this, I am hosting a small virtual server on Digital Ocean. I am using my own funds to give it a shot.

    The Pi-Hole software is free and currently we are here with functionality.

    I run some extra definition lists on the PI which caches and remembers its DNS requests, whenever the PI doesnt know something I take this a step further and the forward addresses point to OpenDNS family safe servers. Which according to openDNS block the following:

    The goal of this is simple.

    • Can I or another organization or entity use free products to provide a safer internet to users without charging them a ludicrous amount of money?
    • How effective is it?
    • Can it be done at a low or no cost?
    To answer these questions I would like to invite feedback on the project if you decide to join. I am looking for the following.

    • Response time ok
    • false positives
    • does this inhibit your browsing habits within reason?
    Here are some examples of what this blocks.

    • Telemetry
    • malware domains
    • ad domains
    • pornographic and other none PG domains
    DNS in itself isnt a perfect system, but I would REALLY like to understand how feasible a project like this could be. If you would like to join the DNS server IP in question is this.

    45.55.35.57

    (I currently only route IPV4)
    ​I DO NOT keep any private or identifying information.

    Turn On Windows Defender Block Suspicious Behaviors in Windows 10  

    The DWORD is set to 0 and I cannot get the process you suggested in the "NOTE" portion of the tutorial to work. Two attached screen shoots will show the before and after attempts to change the Permissions necessary for access to the DWORD change.
