Besides using the Hosts file, if you have a Firewall that is capable of IP blocking, block IP address 64.94.110.11

I've gotton 8 hits on the VerSign IP 64.94.110.11 since Monday of last week.

Since then I also added two more IP's: 216.52.17.226 and 12.158.80.10

Anyone using the Firewall to block the redirect recieve any hits?

Thanks for those links.

I'd have to say that letter was very direct, to the point, and impossible to mis-understand. Good stuff.

 

While this appears to be a dead issue, I have discovered a different redirect due to mistyped or dead URL's. It took a quick eye and patience to find the ultimate culprit.
