Protect yourself from going to false websites that claim to be your bank, brokerage, credit card company, etc.
By using Google Public DNS you prevent yourself from getting caught in the middle and trying to figure out who is who. You not only protect yourself, but prevent your identity from going to the bad guys.
To use Google Public DNS you need to do the following:
Go to Control Panel - > Network Connections and double click Internet Protocol.
You simply enter the preferred DNS 8.8.8.8 and alternate 8.8.4.4 and click OK.
