Taken to random websites when clicking on links

Hi mof,
Sorry I am not sure why you are being redirected to random sites.

The quote below is my understanding of Comodo Secure DNS settings and I expect the newer settings to be more secure.

Kind regards.

Thanks Buket,
So my understanding is as follows.
Previous Comodo Secure DNS = 156.154.70.22/156.154.71.22.
Current Secure DNS = 8.26.56.26/8.20.247.20
This can be checked using the following link, if you are using the correct settings you should see the active Secure DNS page. (See screenshots)

If you had previous versions (5.x) installed and selected Secure DNS during installation, you would have activated the old settings.
Uninstalling previous versions (5.x) does not revert your settings back to default, so therefore the old settings remain.
If you had a previous version (5.x) installed and selected Secure DNS during installation then updated to the current version not Selecting Secure DNS, then the old DNS settings would remain.
With the current version if you selected Secure DNS during installation, you would have activated the new settings.
Uninstalling the current version reverts your DNS settings back to default.

I hope my understanding is correct and that it helps clear up some issues regarding the two different settings available.
