[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1319479, member: 24160"] I have never had problems with it as it has never been on any of my computers. What I have seen is countless issues (just like this one - with it reporting something to be a problem that's not) on this forum and others of people not being able to connect to the web - in some cases anything, but most of the time only a few sites - and the issue was resolved by removing PG. Personally, I use my router's built-in firewall. There is no such animal as a 224.0.0.251 url out there on the web. That IP cannot be used as an external address trying to get into your local network. That IP is reserved for internal (local area) networks - similar to 198.162.0.* Just try doing a Whois lookup for that IP anywhere you would like. (Leave the IPv6 settings as they are unless you are having specific issues with it. There is no need to be messing with it. There was some issue with the automatic setting some 4-6 yrs ago that was causing DNS problems and the recommended fix at that time was to change it to manual. I have not seen this issue in a few years now.) [/QUOTE]
