Sorry. My wife and I are trying to discern if my BIL's network was a problem in 
the past. It has been the family's network. The kids and her computer in the 
past had routed via utopia.net when we entered in addresses or search terms. I 
am trying to see if there is anything wrong with my BIL's network now. I am a 
bit suspicious based on what I read about utopia.net. My wife wants me to find 
more significant findings before she allows herself to question matters. I 
don't know all that much except that utopia.net was noted as a malware site on 
many searches I've done.
