The Dell has (oh-my-gosh) vista "ultimate" and when I typed in the youtube address it immediately classed it as a blocked site! this was the first time I even knew I has opendns on the computer. So, is this you guys, or Dell, or what? Then today at work (clone with XP Pro) I went onto Youtube okay, but after spending about 10-odd minutes there it suddenly came up with the same warning and kicked me out. Both computers are 'direct to net' - no servers in the middle. Any ideas??? Hi, Guys

I know my eMachines had a similar "feature" installed, but I cant remember where the files were stored, but it was easily uninstalled from the control panel > Programs and Features area of Vista :) @Steven: Could you get in touch with Jason (at PcDecrapifier), or me (so I can contact Jason myself, if you wish) regarding the uninstall of this service, if you remember any “details”?
