I have Eset also, but I also run Glary Utilities—They have a free version and I bought the Pro version. Give that a try.
I had a virus run through my computer last week. I rebooted, hit F8 during log on and then entered in safe mode. I run Malawarebytes Anti-Malware and it seems to do the trick.
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
I suggest you Google “DNS cache poisoning.” There are a few articles on how to fix it.
What you need is the Tech Ping List, paging Shadow Ace
FReepers keep dismissing my warnings about the dangers of Facebook.
It’s a wormhole!
There is likely an infection. The problem is whats infected. I would go outside your home internet and download windows defender offline, and scan every computer with out access to the internet. Re-flash the router and or wireless 802.11 access points. Lastly phones tablets. Are they protected? To be sure your ok you need to scan outside of the OS so nothing an hide. Malwarebytes and superantispyware are both excellent. As a last comment are all software packages up to date. acrobat products and java are frequent infection vectors. PSI, will help keep you up to date. Drivereasy will do the same for drivers.
Are you saying you’ve had Eset all along? NFG. It’s a paid software, isn’t it. I run free Avast (plus the malware software) and it’s served me well. Just a thought for the future.
You can download the Kaspersky Rescue Disc image, create the CD, then boot from it. It is supposed to scan and repair problems.
Never experienced “DNS poisoning”, but you can try some basic things like:
Logging in as non-admin, then escalate to change write permissions on your hosts file (%system32%/drivers/etc/hosts), and/or make it read only. Of course, review your hosts file.
You can also flush and review your dns settings and cache using ipconfig with /all, /displaydns, and /flushdns.

Trying something new per a suggestion from zeugma--I'm breaking up my ping list into two parts to shorten it--hopefully it will eliminate the double pings we've been seeing.
