Hi there!
I’ve been wondering for a while now why my newly set up website is being blocked
by OpenDNS.com for malware reasons.
Therefore I’ve contacted the customer support of OpenDNS.com and today I got the
following reply via email:
[quote]Hi,
You will need to contact the host provider of bplaced.net, as they are hosting the following malware file on several directories on the servers.

Can anybody tell me what this is about or how I could possibly solve this issue?
OpenDNS reports that any issues were already resolved, this appears to be some report from within the past days, but since bplaced responds pretty much fast to any abuse tickets it did not last long.
Unfortunately I have to say that the domain is still being blocked
by OpenDNS for the same reason.
I also tried several different ways of clearing my cache and still I
can’t reach my site…
OpenDNS clearly stated that there is no ban on any domain.
Could you please make a screenshot of that error and send it to my e-mail (see company contact on bottom at bplaced.net)? I would like to forward that to their tech support.
I received a recommendation to purge the dns cache or the browser cache - there is clearly no entry for any of our domains within the network. It is probably your browser displaying cached/outdated content
Again, I both purged my DNS cache (via cmd: ipconfig/flushdns) and the cache
of my respective browsers. Still I have to say that the respective domain is being
blocked by OpenDNS for the very same reason.
Is there anything else I could check or pay attention to?
well, not really. I understand that this appears to be a local issue, opendns clearly states that there is no listing. Please contact their support for further assistance, maybe they are able to trace this issue.
